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.

El 2 de març de 1998 la Natascha Kampusch, llavors una nena de deu anys, va ser segrestada per un desconegut amb una furgoneta blanca. Hores més tard estava a un soterrani fosc, embolicada amb una manta. Quan va sortir, vuit anys més tard, la seva infància havia desaparegut. A «3.096 dies», la Natascha explica per primera vegada la seva increïble història: la seva infància difícil, què va passar exactament el dia del seu segrest, el seu empresonament a una cel·la de cinc metres quadrats, i l'abús mental i físic que va sofrir del seu abductor. «3.096 dies» és la història del triomf de l'esperit humà. Descriu com, en una situació de desesperació absoluta, va aprendre com manipular el seu captor. I com escapar-ne intacta.

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 womans 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 wasnt 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 childrens 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"Its a very powerful read." - Huw Edwards, BBC"Very brave." - Emma Barnett, BBC
