Natascha Kampusch

On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off a street in Vienna by a stranger and bundled into a white van. Hours later she was lying on a cold cellar floor, rolled up in a blanket. When she emerged from captivity in 2006, having endured one of the longest abductions in recent history, her childhood had gone. In 3,096 Days Natascha tells her amazing story for the first time: her difficult childhood, what exactly happened on that fateful morning when she was on her way to school, her long imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the physical and mental abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil - who committed suicide by throwing himself under a train on the day she managed to make her escape. 3,096 Days is ultimately a story about the triumph of the human spirit. It describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopeless, she learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape with her spirit intact. 'Kampusch's mix of resilience, self-belief and teenage rebelliousness frequently reminds me of Anne Frank. Like Anne, she refuses to be defined by her traumatic experience. And again, like Anne, she seems extraordinary in her own right...(her book) demands to be read...Somewhere in this young woman's courageous and creative response to a randonly brutal act, it is possible to glimpse all that is best and most exhilarating about being human.' New Statesman '3,096 Days is thoughtful, unflinching and remarkably devoid of self-pity...Remarkable...as a testament to her indomitable spirit.' Sunday Times '3,096 Days is an excellent book...Kampusch takes us coolly through her extraordinary experience without piling on grisly details or emotional pressure. She doesn't ask for our sympathy...Instead she insists on being free to do and speak as she pleases. She was deprived of this most basic right for eight years, she explains and has no intention of letting it happen again.' Mail on Sunday 'The power of Kampusch's narrative lies in her insistence on the emotionally complex nature of her relationship with her kidnapper, and her refusal to see herself purely as a victim, and him as evil.' Sunday Telegraph 'Her autobiography is testament to the power of the imagination in the face of a most terrifying predicament... Kampusch's grim tale would be compelling whatever the skill of the writer, but her memoir manages to be both a brave attempt to get across a message and a sad song about the bleakness of many lives.' Observer

Ana de Resende

Quando tinha apenas 10 anos, em 2 de Março de 1998, Natascha Kampusch foi sequestrada a caminho da escola. O sequestrador - o engenheiro de telecomunicações Wolfgang Priklopil - a manteve prisioneira em um cativeiro no porão durante 3.096 dias. Nesse período, ela foi submetida a todo tipo de abuso físico e psicológico. Nesta obra, Natascha fala abertamente sobre o sequestro, o período no cativeiro, seu relacionamento com o sequestrador e, sobretudo, como conseguiu escapar do inferno, possibilitando ao leitor uma compreensão dos processos de transformação psicológica pelos quais passa uma pessoa mantida em cativeiro.

10 Jahre Freiheit

This powerful true story follows Natascha Kampusch, who, held hostage in a 50-square-foot dungeon for eight years, where she was treated as a slave and forced to work for her sadistic captor, never forgot who she was--and never gave up hope of returning to the world. Original.

3,096 Days in Captivity

Wanneer Natascha Kampusch 2 maart 1998 op weg naar school door een onbekende man een wit bestelbusje in wordt getrokken, denkt ze dat haar laatste uur heeft geslagen. Even later ligt het meisje van tien in een deken gewikkeld op een koude keldervloer in een eengezinswoning. Om haar heen is het aardedonker, de lucht is bedompt en benauwd. In deze gevangenis van amper vijf vierkante meter zal Natascha de komende achtenhalf jaar doorbrengen. Wolfgang Priklopil is de enige met wie ze contact heeft. Ze wordt door hem mishandeld, vernederd en onderdrukt. Pas in de zomer van 2006 slaagt ze erin te vluchten, iets wat ze al vanaf de allereerste dag van plan was. Pas nu voelt Natascha zich sterk genoeg om haar verhaal te vertellen. In openhartige en pijnlijk eerlijke bewoordingen vertelt ze over haar moeilijke jeugd, de gevangenschap en de lichamelijke en geestelijke mishandeling. Ook beschrijft ze hoe ze in deze uitzichtloze situatie leerde sterker te zijn dan haar ontvoerder. Dit is het relaas van een meisje dat vocht, een meisje dat iets onvoorstelbaars wist te overleven en nooit heeft willen opgeven.

De diefstal van mijn jeugd

ÄIch fühle mich nun stark genug, die ganze Geschichte meiner Entführung zu erzählen.ä Natascha Kampusch erlitt das schrecklichste Schicksal, das einem Kind zustossen kann: Am 2. März 1998 wurde sie im Alter von zehn Jahren auf dem Schulweg entführt. Ihr Peiniger, der Nachrichtentechniker Wolfgang Priklopil, hielt sie in einem Kellerverlies gefangen - 3096 Tage lang. Am 23. August 2006 gelang ihr aus eigener Kraft die Flucht. Priklopil nahm sich noch am selben Tag das Leben. Jetzt spricht Natascha Kampusch zum ersten Mal offen über die Entführung, die Zeit der Gefangenschaft, ihre Beziehung zum Täter und darüber, wie es ihr gelang, der Hölle zu entkommen.

3096 Tage

I Ti års frihed fortæller Natascha Kampusch for første gang om tiden efter sin flugt. Det er en modig kvindes bevægende og rystende beretning om kampen for at finde tilbage til en normal hverdag. Ti års frihed er den selvstændige opfølger til 3096 dage, der udkom på dansk i 2011. Om bogen: 23. august 2006 sluttede en af de mest spektakulære kidnapningssager i nyere tid, da det lykkedes den dengang 18-årige Natascha Kampusch efter 8,5 års fangenskab at flygte fra bortføreren Walter Priklopils hus i Østrig. Men det, der skulle have været en ny start for den nu voksne kvinde, blev i stedet en fortsættelse af hendes klaustrofobiske mareridt. For offentligheden krævede svar på alle spørgsmål om hendes 3096 dage i det fem kvadratmeter store kælderrum – selv de mest private – og spekulerede i alt fra medgerningsmænd til børn født i fangenskab, og om hun selv havde planlagt sin bortførelse. En uforstående og chokeret omverden var og er stadig ikke parat til at slippe et nationalt traume og sætte hende fri. Det er derfor, Natascha Kampusch nu fortæller, hvad der videre skete efter befrielsen. Hun ønsker at sætte et punktum.

Ti års frihed

Cu Heike Gronemeier și Corinna Milborn Traducere și note de Cristina Cioabă În dimineața zilei de 2 martie 1998, o fetiță de zece ani este urcată cu forța într-o furgonetă albă. Câteva ore mai târziu, zace înfășurată într-o pătură pe podeaua rece a unei pivnițe. În jur e beznă, iar aerul are un iz stătut. În această temniță, de nici cinci metri pătrați, nu departe de Viena, Natascha Kampusch va trăi în următorii opt ani și jumătate, ruptă de lume. Răpitorul ei este singura persoană cu care are contact. O va supune unor chinuri greu de închipuit. În vara anului 2006 Natascha reușește să fugă și să-și împlinească promisiunea pe care și-o făcuse încă din prima zi a captivității. Această carte este prima mărturisire completă despre experiența teribilă căreia a trebuit să-i facă față un copil. Natascha Kampusch vorbește cu curaj și demnitate despre copilăria ei dificilă, despre prizonierat, despre torturile fizice și psihice. Totodată, ne dezvăluie și cum a reușit să-l împiedice pe făptaș s-o distrugă, într-o situație fără speranță. Este povestea unei luptătoare, care a îndurat un coșmar de neimaginat, dar care nu s-a lăsat învinsă. „Profundă, onestă și absolut lipsită de autocompătimire… Natascha Kampusch este remarcabilă nu doar pentru curajul cu care povestește chinurile prin care a trecut, ci și, mai ales, pentru forța lăuntrică ce răzbate din mărturia ei și care s-a dovedit în final de neînvins.“ — Sunday Times „O analiză extraordinar de complexă a celor opt ani de captivitate.“ — The Guardian

«Ara em sento prou forta per explicar-ho tot sobre el meu segrest» Natascha Kampusch va néixer el 17 de febrer de 1988 a Viena. Quan tenia deu anys va ser víctima dun dels segrestos més llargs de la història recent, ja que va durar fins al 2006. El dia que es va escapar, el seu segrestador, Wolfgang Priklopil, es va suïcidar. 3.096 dies és la seva pròpia narració daquesta terrible experiència.

In Tien jaar vrijheid vertelt Natacha Kampusch over het leven na haar bevrijding, blikt terug op haar ontvoering en laat zien dat hoop nooit opgegeven mag worden In 2006 eindigde een van de heftigste ontvoeringen uit de hedendaagse geschiedenis: Natascha Kampusch ontsnapte uit de kelder waar ze al meer dan acht jaar werd vastgehouden. Deze zomer is het tien jaar geleden dat de toen achttienjarige Natascha zichzelf bevrijdde. Wat is er in het afgelopen decennium gebeurd? Ruim acht jaar was ze gescheiden van vrienden en familie; hoe heeft ze haar plek in de samenleving weer gevonden en hoe ging ze om met de spoken uit haar verleden? Natascha is uitgegroeid van een onschuldig slachtoffer tot een ambitieuze en moedige jonge vrouw die andere slachtoffers van misbruik probeert te helpen. In Tien jaar vrijheid vertelt ze over haar leven na haar bevrijding, maar kijkt ze ook met een volwassen blik terug op haar ontvoering.

Mijn strijd om te overleven buiten de kelder

Tien jaar vrijheid

3096 giorni

In late October 2006, one of the most spectacular kidnapping cases of the younger past had come to end, when Natascha Kampusch freed herself after being held captive in a hidden cellar (near Vienna, Austria) for more than eight years. Media companies from all over the world came to cover her life story, which has taken quite some twists since then. The result: two autobiographies, a feature film, several documentaries and hundreds of interviews – all within a decade. "10 Years of Freedom" offers us an insight into the impact such a nightmarish captivity has on a young woman's life. It tells the story of a naive victim, that had to learn to cope with the real world after being locked away for her whole youth. The author spans a wide range of themes from her first days in freedom and the turbulent times after gaining it again to a never-ending trauma, which she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. Natascha declares that she wasn't prepared to be a public figure after all, but was suddenly confronted with a heavy and controversial media coverage (including speculations by reporters regarding Stockholm syndrome and roleplaying, along with being labelled "cellar girl" and "sex slave"). Also, wild conspiracy theories gained popularity, resulting in several trials and review boards (including police and FBI investigations). Despite everything, she found certain ways to reconnect with her family and even founded/initiated several charity projects (e.g. the creation of a children's ward in Sri Lanka or the support of PETA, an organisation for animal rights). "Your book is remarkable. 10 Years of Freedom, I urge everyone to read it." - Piers Morgan, ITV "It's a very powerful read." - Huw Edwards, BBC "Very brave." - Emma Barnett, BBC
