What is it like to be a wife of a politician in modern-day Britain? Sasha Swire finally lifts the lid. For more than two decades she has kept a secret diary detailing the trials and tribulations of being a political plus-one; the travel, the security, the challenges to family life and the unpredictable events.

The terror and purges of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s discouraged Soviet officials from leaving documentary records, let alone keeping personal diaries. A remarkable exception is the unique diary assiduously kept by Ivan Maisky, the Soviet ambassador to London between 1932 and 1943. This selection from Maisky's diary grippingly documents Britain's drift to war during the 1930s, appeasement in the Munich era, negotiations leading to the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact....

Er schreibt es in sein Tagebuch! Was macht Stefan, wenn er zur Fahrprüfung mit dem falschen Bein aufsteht, wenn er sich beim Rangeln etwas bricht, wenn er beim Schrankaufbauen merkt, dass die Schublade fehlt, wenn er nachts nicht alleine ist und es plötzlich klingelt, wenn er überall nur noch Handtaschen sieht, wenn sein Praktikum bei Franka Stein zur Hölle wird, wenn seine neue WG nur aus Frauen besteht, wenn der kleine Spaziergang Stunden dauert oder wenn sein Keller einen Wasserschaden hat? Das beste Mittel gegen trübe Tage!

Says Charles Pooter, "I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a 'somebody' - why my diary should not be interesting." Surprisingly, Mr. Pooter's life is fascinating! The fascination is two-fold: firstly, his astounding arrogance that we should care about his domestic trivia and narcissistic scribblings. Secondly, we can all sympathize with (and wince at!) this ridiculous slave to convention.

A deeply private man, shut off even to those who worked closely with him, Abraham Lincoln often captured “his best thoughts", as he called them, in short notes to himself. He would work out his personal stances on the biggest issues of the day, never expecting anyone to see these pieces of writing, which he’d then keep close at hand, in desk drawers and even in his top hat. The profound importance of these notes has been overlooked, because the originals are scattered across several different archives and have never before been brought together and examined as a coherent whole.
