«El diari de Zlata» is the autobiographical diary of Zlata Filipovic, published by labutxaca in paperback (208 pages).
Zlata is eleven years old and lives in Sarajevo when the Balkan War breaks out. Her diary, which at first records an ordinary childhood, becomes a testimony of life under bombardment: fear, suffering and extreme conditions in which the most basic resources are scarce. In her child's voice, the author narrates in the first person what it means to grow up in the midst of war.
Work originally published in 1993 as «Zlatin dnevnik». This edition is part of the Labutxaca collection.
Because it is narrated by a child, it is especially close to young readers and also to those seeking a human perspective on war.
Zlata Filipović is a Bosnian-Irish diarist. She kept a diary from 1991 to 1993 when she was a child living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, later published as a book.
