Nguyen Nhat Anh's journal does not just discuss Quang noodles. He said everything in the sky under the pool. From food to calligraphy, from theater to movie, from home to office, from supermarket to street, from Saigon to the West...He discusses everything: From big and small, from fake goods to Hollywood uprising, from Cophaco fans to Ba Tieu fans...He also likes everything: From reading advertisements to listening to reforms on the Tien River, from watching football to watching flowers dig in paintings, then "chat"...

London, 1934. Doreen Bates is working in the same office as E, an older married man. They strike up a passionate affair and Doreen records it all in her diary - secret midnight walks, countryside escapades and stolen moments of intimacy. But Doreen longs for a child with E. Despite all the taboos at the time and against the wishes of E, Doreen gets pregnant and is amazed when twins are born during the war. However, Doreen faces an uncertain future - will E ever leave his wife and join his new family?

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.

A Silentium című kötet négy esszéje napló. De nem a történeti eseményeké, hanem a léleké. A második világháború pokolra szállása, és a kataklizmát követő évek lábadozásának története azonban csak kerete annak a belső újjászületésnek, amelyet Hamvas 1946 és 1949 kötött megélt.

When he turned 65, the playwright Simon Gray began to keep a diary: not a careful honing of the days' events with a view to posterity but an account of his thoughts as he had them, honestly, turbulently, digressively expressed. One of Britain's most amusing and original writers reflects on a life filled with cigarettes (continuing), alcohol (stopped), several triumphs and many more disasters - a record of shame, adultery, friendship and love. Few diarists have ever been so frank about themselves and even fewer so entertaining.

José Fernandez, el protagonista de la novela que presentamos, es un joven aristócrata Bogotano que, durante una velada a finales del siglo XIX, y a petición de sus amigos más cercanos, lee de su diario las entradas correspondientes a un periodo de su vida en que viajó y vivió en Europa y en el que conoció y sufrió por cuenta de un enamoramiento que casi lo lleva a la tumba.

In der Stilistik Thomas Manns liegt dieses markant-prägnant-charmante Element, das einen sofort in seinen Bann zieht. Bei seinen Tagebücher 1933-34 Teil 3 herrscht durchaus ebenfalls diese ganz eigene Stimmung, allerdings überwiegend in einer starken Reduzierung der Gedankengänge auf ziemlich kurze nicht ausgearbeitete spontane Sätze und unmittelbare Eindrücke, was dem Tagebuch-Genre geschuldet ist. Dennoch interessant aufgrund der Persönlichkeit Manns und seinem Austausch mit prominenten Literatur-Größen wie Hermann Hesse, Peter Suhrkamp, Franz Werfel u.a.

We know what a king eats in a day, what the inner world of a young girl in hiding looks like, and what it was like to be a Freedom Rider because of diaries. Whether carved into stone, penned in a crudely bound parchment book, or spoken into a camera for viewers around the world, records of human love, loss, genius, and grocery lists have been kept for thousands of years. Our Diaries, Ourselves pays homage to the time-honored tradition of chronicling one’s day, memories, and creativity.

John Clellon Holmes met Jack Kerouac on a hot New York City weekend in 1948, and until the end of Kerouac's life they were—in Holmes's words—"Brother Souls." Late one night as they sat talking, Kerouac spontaneously created the term "Beat Generation" to describe this new attitude they felt stirring around them. Brother-Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation is the remarkable chronicle of this cornerstone friendship and the life of John Clellon Holmes.

DIA 5: SEGUNDA-FEIRA, 23 DE JULHO DE 2001, 5h53 "O sol está brilhando através das grades da minha janela, no que deve ser um glorioso dia de verão.

Na cela abaixo de mim há um garoto de dezessete anos acusado de roubar uma loja: é seu primeiro delito, ainda nem foi condenado. Ele fica trancado por dezoito horas e meia sem poder falar com ninguém.

Dieuwertje Blok debuteert met een ontroerende ontdekkingstocht door het oorlogsverleden en -dagboek van haar Joodse moeder. 'Henny Gazan, mijn moeder, was zeventien toen de oorlog uitbrak en zat tweeënhalf jaar ondergedoken. Tweeënhalf jaar kon ze niet naar buiten en moest ze zich zelfs af en toe een avond in een kast verstoppen. Ook mijn grootouders doken onder en overleefden zo de oorlog. De rest van mijn familie van moederskant heb ik nooit gekend, ze zijn vrijwel allemaal vermoord. Mijn moeder wist daardoor als geen ander wat vrijheid betekende.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen der Jahres 1932. Seine Berichterstattungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. 1932 ist wie ein langer dunkler Dezember ohne Advent und Weihnachten. Der größte Teil des Textes behandelt die aufgeheizten Debatten um die Politik des Tages (5 große Wahlen in 8 Monaten). Den Terror der Nazis auf den Straßen und die Sabotage der Weimarer Institutionen aus den Hinterzimmern des Parlaments.
