The high-profile story of Natasha Kampusch, described in this book, shook up the whole of Europe. In the very center of the continent, in small and sedate Austria, a maniac kidnapped a 10-year-old girl and kept her captive for 8 years. The entire Austrian police were brought to their feet. They even searched for the girl in neighboring countries, but to no avail. No one could have imagined that she spent all these years in a basement closet two by three meters and 160 centimeters high. The story ended miraculously - the captive managed to escape, and the kidnapper, realizing that the police were about to come for him, committed suicide by throwing himself under a train. The girl decided to reveal the whole truth about her life in captivity, talk about the childhood fears, tears and despair she experienced , as well as about the ambiguous relationship with the kidnapper Wolfgang Priklopil.
