It's the first biography of Anna Przybylska authorised by her family.

Quando Anne inizia il suo diario, nel giugno del 1942, ha appena compiuto tredici anni. Poche pagine, e all'immagine della scuola, dei compagni e di amori piú o meno ideali, si sostituisce la storia della lunga clandestinità.

Anna Katharina Emmerick, incompresa monaca morta nel 1824, ebbe il dono della visione: vide come realtà del presente non solo quel che era ontano nello spazio ma anche ciò che lo era nel tempo. Di questo dono nessuno fra coloro che la circondavano si curò. Soppresso il suo convento, rifugiata in una misera abitazione, fu scoperta da Clemente Brentano, laico, uomo colto e pio. Le visioni sulla vita di Gesù Cristo furono pubblicate a Parigi nel 1860, in sei volumi.

The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.
