N2  - 100 Diaries that Chronicled World Events introduces us to the world's greatest diarists. Including the historical journals of Samuel Pepys and Anne Frank; snapshots of culture in the diaries of Frida Kahlo and Kurt Cobain; and windows into the past from Queen Victoria and John Adams. These published journals present a unique insight into their time and place, featuring a diverse range of accounts from all over the world. Discover the doomed log of Arctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott and the philandering antics of Samuel Pepys: as well as the less well-known diary of Jakob Walter, a foot soldier who gave a vivid insight into the Napoleonic wars, or Mary Chesnut,a privileged planter's wife in South Carolina, who chronicled the South's decline in the Civil War
