3096 Days | Natascha Kampusch
13 posts | 23 read | 21 to read
3,096 Days is the remarkable and shocking true account of the kidnap of Natascha Kampusch in 1998, who relives her traumatic experiences in this amazing true story. 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 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 happened exactly 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 hopelessness, she learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken. 'A brilliantly insightful dissection of her years in captivity ' Jon Ronson, Guardian 'An excellent book' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday 'Unflinching and remarkably devoid of self-pity... Remarkable - not just for Kampusch's account of her ordeal but as a testament to her indomitable spirit' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times Natascha Kampusch was born on 17 February 1988 in Vienna and became victim, at the age of ten, to what proved to be one of the longest abductions in recent history. In 2006 she gained her freedom. On the day she escaped, her abductor Wolfgang Priklopil committed suicide by throwing himself under a train. Since then Natascha has been trying to live a normal life. In spring 2010, aged 22, she graduated from university.

For those who are squeamish about sex/rape, she leaves this out; it doesn‘t actually sound like there was a lot of that, anyway. There is plenty of physical abuse, though.

Cont in comments...

LibraryCin It is a translation, so there is the occasional awkward phrase or sentence, but I was certainly interested in her story. I think it gave a really good insight into how dependent she was on her kidnapper, especially since she was with him during those formative years between the ages of 10 and 18, and why she might have mixed feelings towards him. Cont... 6y
LibraryCin I feel so badly that she was not always treated well after she escaped due to those mixed feelings towards her former captor. However, as with many true crime stories I read, I had to look up more information online to find out how she‘s been doing since the book was published 6y

Kampusch's story (not only her book but also interviews etc.) is always a good reminder to pull myself together if I'm being whiny or drowning in self-pity.I mean, she doesn't only have to deal with the memories of her captivity but also people wanting her to fit their categories of being a victim and nut job conspiracy-theorists, among other things. 🙈Reading this was a very humbling and inspiring experience. #photoadaynov16 #inspiring #memoirs

I don't read a lot of non-fiction (not counting the secondary literature I need for work), but when it comes to #scarynonfiction I would choose this memoir by Natascha Kampusch. Her story really touched me and I remember sitting glued to the telly when she fled 10 years ago and the first reports came in on the news. #AllHallowsRead

Faibka I saw her story some time ago. Truly horrific 8y
