A good time, an ordeal, or just thinking that you suddenly feel like you're really living your life. Watching the changing color of the sky, the sun flooding Damascus one afternoon. Signing books in Vevey with Chappaz, Corinna Bille and Georges Borgeaud. Load up two cows and three calves for butchery and shake the butcher's firm hand. Promising, desperately promising newspaper articles. Shitting under an olive tree in the southern Peloponnese. Measuring time by putting logs on the fire. Tucking your head into your shoulders and feeling the rain on your forehead. In other words, to pass and only pass on this Earth, scratching on the paper of a diary the weft of our comings and goings, the narration of our wanderings, the segment of our trajectories, the tale of our secret attractions and that of our disgusts - this is what this special issue of the magazine Literary Moments, which highlights moments in the lives of Swiss diarists over more than three centuries, from Henri-Frédéric Amiel to Douna Loup.
