Union General William Tecumseh Sherman came right through her yard on their march to the sea in 1864, just as they had other plantations. But the widow mistress of Georgia's Burge Plantation was no typical southern belle. She was a Maine-born transplant with 100 slaves. Here, in Dolly Sumner Lunt's own words, is a description of those days as she watched everything she had and believed in being threatened by an army she described as invaders.

Pose Prose and Poems: My Thoughts Exactly was the first compilation of poetry and prose by Janna Hill and was copyrighted in 1998. The verses reflect the hopes, dreams, hurt, and disappointments found in the human condition.

"L'intranquillité" de Fernando Pessoa met en scène les différents hétéronymes que l'auteur avait inventés pour se permettre des styles d'écriture divers, voire opposés. Ces personnages prennent une certaine consistance dans ce journal intime qui mêle réalité vécue et réalité littéraire. Écrit à partir de 1913 et jusqu'à la mort de Pessoa en 1935, ce texte est à la fois préoccupé, libre et poétique.

In April 1915 Dorothea Crewdson, a newly trained Red Cross nurse, and her best friend, Christie, received instructions to leave for Le Treport in Northern France. Filled with excitement at the prospect of her first paid job, Dorothea began writing a diary. 'Who knows how long we shall really be out here? Seems a good chance from all reports of the campaigns being ended before winter, but all is uncertain.'

When the Call the Midwife series became best sellers Jennifer Worth received mountains of letters - not only praising her books, but also from people who remembered the world her books described; life in the East End of London during the late 1940s and early '50s. Often her books touched her audience and they felt moved to write, or they wanted to share their own memories.A prolific letter writer herself, Jennifer always corresponded and this book includes some fascinating letters she received.

Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe share their diaries from three incident-filled Grand Tours, the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España. These take listeners behind the scenes and explore the culture and landscape as well as the racing while the ‘Lionel of Flanders’, complete with beer recommendations, does the same for the Classics in Belgium.

The Voyage of the Beagle - or, to give it its full title, Journal of researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage round the World of H.M.S. Beagle under command of Captain FitzRoy, R.N. - is much more than merely an account of Darwin's scientific observations in his 1831 - 36 travels across the globe: it is fine travel writing in its own right.

Erwachsenwerden ist eine der schwierigsten Erfahrungen, die wir überleben müssen. Manchmal tut es gut, zu wissen, dass es jemanden gibt, der das alles schon durchgemacht hat und dir versichert: Du schaffst das schon! Lisa Sophie ist (gefühlt) schon in jedes Fettnäpfchen getreten und hat die peinlichsten Situationen erlebt. Obwohl im Leben nicht immer alles glatt läuft, zeigt sie dir, dass am Ende doch alles gut wird.

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....

In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in Washington, DC, when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama's stenographers. She joined the elite team who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forged friendships with a tight group of fellow travellers - young men and women who, like her, left their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president.

Amelia - 1942: The inside of my closet held the last bit of my freedom before I was torn from my home and shoved onto a dark train. Our destination was even darker. "Women and children to the right. Men to the left," they shouted at us. Everything was taken from me, leaving only the smoke-filled air, piercing screams, and soul-burning cries. I was slowly starved and weakened to the bone, but there was a man - a Nazi - who brought me extra food. He called himself a prisoner too, but he scared me, and I wondered if he was the enemy I should fear the most.

It's 1989, and Rae Earl is a fat, boy-mad 17-year-old girl living in Stamford, Lincolnshire, with her mum and their deaf white cat in a council house with a mint green bathroom and a refrigerator Rae can't keep away from. She's also just been released from a psychiatric ward. My Mad Fat Diary is the hilarious, harrowing, and touching real-life diary Rae kept during that fateful year and the basis of the hit British television series of the same name now coming to HULU.

Bölls berühmter Reisebericht ruft auf plastische Weise ein Irland wach, wie es Ende der fünfziger Jahre des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts gewesen ist, als die Insel noch eines der ärmsten und rückständigsten Länder Westeuropas war. Auch wenn sich seither natürlich viel gewandelt hat, liefern Bölls liebevolle, genau beobachtete und außerordentlich treffende Stimmungsbilder aus dem irischen Alltag auch heute noch eine Art vertieften Einblick in die unverändert gebliebene "Seele" Irlands.

Editor in chief Alexandra Shulman kept a diary of British Vogue's centenary year. And what a year. She reveals the emotional and logistical minefield of producing the 100th anniversary issue (that Duchess of Cambridge cover surprise), organising the star-studded Vogue 100 Gala and working with designers from Victoria Beckham to Karl Lagerfeld and contributors from David Bailey to Alexa Chung, all under the continual scrutiny of a television documentary crew.

During his two terms as the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded, by hand, his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine day-to-day occurrences of his presidency. Now, nearly two decades after he left office, this remarkable record, the only daily Presidential diary in American history, is available for the first time.

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.

"Ormen og krogen er langt længere nede ad åen nu. "Hvis jeg ikke snart fanger noget, kommer du aldrig med på fisketur mere," forsikrer jeg hunden. Den lader et kort øjeblik den lange tunge hænge helt ud af munden og siger: "Aaaha! Aaaha! Aaaha!" Så haler den tungen ind igen og lukker munden. Den morer sig over de mærkeligste ting, den hund. Så prøver vi forfra igen. Plump! Og så nærmer stålormen sig atter roden." I sansende, følende, smagende, filosofiske og underholdende fortællinger og betragtninger giver Poul Blak i "Den enøjede sommerfugl" sit bud på konstellationen menneske-natur.

Kafka und sein Vaterkonflikt: Nie tritt er offener zutage als in seinem berühmten Brief an den Vater, der allerdings nie abgeschickt wurde. Noch heute ein unabdingbarer Bestandteil der Schullektüre!
