EDITORIAL REVIEW:
On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha
Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into
a white van. Hours later she found herself in a dark cellar,
wrapped in a blanket. When she emerged eight years later, her
childhood had gone. In "3,096 Days" Natascha tells her incredible
story for the first time: her difficult childhood, what exactly
happened on the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a
five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she
suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil. "3,096 Days" is
ultimately a story about the triumph of the human spirit. It
describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopelessness,
she slowly learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against
inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken.
