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 & only the author can read them.
A diary is a personal record of experiences & feelings. It can include (включать) 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 (чума) of 1665 & 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 (не был разгадан) for over 100 years!
Have you ever heard about the Diary of Anne Frank? The Diary of Anne Frank is the most famous diary of modern times. Anne Frank was a Jew (еврейка), living in Holland, who hid from the Nazis during World War II (2-ая мировая война). She couldn’t meet 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 & support”
She called her diary Kitty & it has been translated into 55 languages & has sold more than 25 million copies around the world.
