Story
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.

Story
Born at Steventon in 1775, the daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, Jane Austen was the youngest of seven children. She lived a quiet life, moving to Bath, Southampton, Chawton and eventually to Winchester where she died unmarried in 1817 at the age of 42. It is to her elder sister Cassandra that most of her surviving letters are written, and through them, we discover the intimate world of the English gentry.

Story
George Gordon Byron was born in 1788, the son of the profligate 'Mad Jack' Byron, and succeeded to the title in 1798 moving to the family seat of Newstead Abbey. He attended Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he proved to be a poor scholar, preferring boxing, the low life and poetry, publishing his first volume of poems in 1806. In 1809, at 21, he embarked on a grand tour of Europe and on his return to England he married the humourless Annabella Milbanke, who gave birth to his daughter Augusta in 1815.

Story
Dorothy Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth in 1771, being one year younger than her brother William. After their mother died in 1778, they were separated and did not return to the Lake District until 1794, when they spent two happy months walking around the hills near Keswick, eventually settling down at Grasmere in 1799. The journals that Dorothy kept are remarkable for the detailed observations she makes of the surrounding countryside and people, often providing glimpses of poverty and suffering, as well as displaying her complete love affair with nature.

Story
Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen im Jahr 1928. Das Erscheinen seines Rathenau-Buches schlägt hohe Wellen. Der Kulturbetrieb ist begeistert. Aber der Geheimdienst beanstandet Textpassagen und diplomatische Verstimmungen werden ausgelöst. Ansonsten ist "der Gesellschaftsmensch" Kessler sehr umtriebig. Oft in Frankreich aber auch in Berlin. Zum Beispiel zur Aufführung der brandneuen "Dreigroschenoper". Berührend ist das Wiedersehen mit dem Tänzer Vaslav Nijinsky.

Story
Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen im Jahr 1929. Es ist schwieriges Jahr. Zwei weitere Freunde sterben: Hugo von Hoffmannsthal und Sergei Djaghilew, und zusammen mit dem Tod des beliebtesten Europäers Gustav Stresemann schließt sich für Kessler "seine Epoche" ab. Es ist sein "Année terrible". Zudem erscheint "Im Westen nichts Neues" von Erich Maria Remarque und der Knabe Jehudi Menuhin erstaunt allgemein mit seinen Beethoveninterpretationen auf der Geige.

Story
"18 janvier 1895 : Un bon mot vaut mieux qu'un mauvais livre." Le Journal intime de Jules Renard s'étend de 1887 à sa mort en 1910. Plus qu'une confession, il s'agit de dialogues pris sur le vif et de maximes, souvent piquantes, sur des personnes de son entourage et plus largement à propos de traits de caractère ou de faits de société. Jules Renard note également ses réflexions sur l'écriture et la réception critique de la littérature.

Story
Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen im Jahr 1926. Josephine Baker trifft im Februar in Berlin ein. Mit ihr und um sie herum werden die Zwanziger Jahre in Berlin wild und golden. Viele Berichte zu spätnächtlichen Vergnügungen unter Künstlern und anderen "halbseidenen" Persönlichkeiten (einschließlich Politikern). Dagegen ist das von einem faszinierten Graf Kessler beschriebene Portrait Elsa Brandströms ein angenehmer hoher Ruhepunkt.

Story
Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen im Jahr 1925. Die Ruhrbesetzung ist noch aktuell. Die Nationalisten gewinnen an Boden. die Monarchisten reintegrieren sich. Höhepunkt dieser Bewegung ist die Wahl Hindenburgs zum Reichspräsidenten. Dass die Rechte, so wie heute, schon damals keine Argumente sondern nur lautere Schreihälse und unlautere Methoden im politischen Wettbewerb haben, wird mehr als einmal beschrieben.

Story
Denkt man an Theodor Fontane, dann denkt man an "Effi Briest" oder an seine "Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg". Fast vergessen dagegen sind seine Erlebnisse als Kriegsreporter bei den preußischen Truppen. So wurde Fontane bei einer Reise 1870 durch das halb besetzte Frankreich verdächtigt, ein Spion zu sein, geriet in französische Kriegsgefangenschaft in Paris und wurde erst auf Intervention Bismarcks freigelassen. Anschaulich und facettenreich liest Matthias Ponnier aus den wenig bekannten Kriegstagebüchern des berühmten Romanciers.
