Reviews
"Cries Unheard will throw you off-balance. It will make it impossible to look at children accused of violent crimes in the same way ever again." (Alex Kotlowitz, The New York Times Book Review) "A profoundly philosophical and reflective psychological study of culpability and innocence, conscience and redemption." (Francine Prose, The New Yorker) "Even resolute believers in the throw -away-the-key school of criminal justice will find their convictions shaken by this powerful book." (Elizabeth Bukowski, The Wall Street Journal) "The recent spate of school killings has raised the excruciating question, Why do children murder? In this acutely insightful portrait, Sereny comes perhaps as close as one can get to the answer." (Megan Harlan, Entertainment Weekly )
Synopsis
What brings one child to kill another? In 1968, at age eleven, Mary Bell was tried and convicted of murdering two small boys in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Throughout her coverage of the sensational trial, Gitta Sereny never believed the characterizations of Bell as the incarnation of evil, the bad seed personified. If we are ever to understand the pressures that lead children to commit serious crimes, she felt, only those children, as adults, can enlighten us., What brings a child to kill another child? In Cries Unheard, Gitta Sereny, one of our greatest authorities on questions of crimes and conscience, takes up the case of Mary Bell, who in 1968, at age eleven, was tried and convicted of murdering two small boys in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Twenty-seven years after her conviction, Bell agreed to talk to Sereny about her harrowing childhood, her terrible acts, her public trial, and her years of imprisonment. What emerges is a wrenching portrait of a damaged childhood and an adult's fight for moral regeneration, one that forces us to ponder society's responsibility for all children at the breaking point, whether in Newcastle, Arkansas, or Colorado., England's controversial #1 best-seller. What brings a child to kill another child? In 1968, at age eleven, Mary Bell was tried and convicted of murdering two small boys in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Gitta Sereny, who covered the sensational trial, never believed the characterization of Bell as the incarnation of evil, the bad seed personified. If we are ever to understand the pressures that lead children to commit serious crimes, Sereny felt, only those children, as adults, can enlighten us. Twenty-seven years after her conviction, Mary Bell agreed to talk to Sereny about her harrowing childhood, her terrible acts, her public trial, and her years of imprisonment-to talk about what was done to her and what she did, who she was and who she became. Nothing Bell says is intended as an excuse for her crimes. But her devastating story forces us to ponder society's responsibility for children at the breaking point, whether in Newcastle, Arkansas, or Oregon. A masterpiece of wisdom and sympathy, Gitta Sereny's wrenching portrait of a girl's damaged childhood and a woman's fight for moral regeneration urgently calls on us to hear the cries of all children at risk.

- 1***1 (20)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaIt's on me for not reading the description of this being an ex-library copy. I was expecting it to be, but that's completely my fault. The product is exactly as described, in good condition and of good quality. Shipping was fast. Appearance good, no pages ripped and cover is not bent. It was sent in a bag instead of a box, though, which could have led to damage in shipping. Overall I'm happy and would buy from this seller again.El lado oscuro (Spanish Edition) (#156832766019)

Just a few stickers here and there; nothing that would make it hard to read this graphic novel. It was shipped fairly quickly! Although the packaging could have been better, it managed to survive intact, so I'm happy! Condition is pretty good and nothing's missing. All in all, an excellent transaction and I'd buy from the seller again!

I contacted the seller and send them copies of the pages. They apologized for their oversight and rectified the issue. I appreciate the prompt communication and rectification of the issue. thanks.
