Famous Diaries
What would you do if you see a friend’s diary on the table? The wish to have a look is great, but diaries are private and only the author can read them.
A diary is a personal record of experiences and feelings. It can include anything – from what you ate for breakfast to your thoughts on a favourite new film. The brilliant thing about diaries is that there are no rules – anything goes! People have been keeping diaries for thousands of years. Some of them can give an impression of what life was like in other times.
Samuel Pepys wrote one of the most famous historical diaries. He wrote the diaries in 1660-1669. They give us information on such events as the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London in 1666.
But, even if Pepys’ friends could have an opportunity to look into his diaries they couldn’t read them. The diaries were written in a code that wasn’t cracked for over 100 years!
Frank Thoughts
The diary of Anne Frank is the most famous diary of modern times. Anne Frank was a Jew, living in Holland, who hid from the Nazis during World War II (1939-1945). She couldn’t meet with anyone from 1942 to 1944, that’s why Anne’s diary became her close friend. On the first page she wrote: “I hope you will be a source of great comfort and support.”
She called her diary Kitty and it has since been translated into 55 languages and has sold more than 23 million copies around the world.
