The author is 96. He was an educator for 33 years, retiring in 1984. As you read the book, you will sense that the 'speaker' is still a teacher who is not only telling you a story, but also cautioning you about what lies ahead as you too face the inevitable challenges associated with aging, how to deal with them, and how being fit helped him survive major difficulties.The Diary of a Dying Man is a perfect example of the saying that truth is stranger than fiction. In fact, much of what happened to the author is unbelievable. Basically, it's about a survivor, a man who is naively generous to a fault. Despite the traumas his generosity causes, he feels that, in each instance, he did the right thing.While the book has a happy ending, be prepared to shed some tears along the way.

Introduced by Alexander Scott. William Soutar was one of the greatest Scots poets of his generation. Tragically he was confined to his bed with a crippling illness for the last fourteen years of his life. During these years, Soutar kept a day-by-day record of his experiences and observations—personal, literary, and philosophical. Each page is written with striking bravery and determination, providing a unique glimpse into the life of this good-humoured man, dedicated to his art. This is a book written in the face of death but inspired by an unsentimental love of life.

Hailed as one of the most important works on the Hitler period, this is an “astonishing, compelling, and unnerving” portrait of life in Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1944—from a man who nearly shot Hitler himself (The New Yorker) Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck, the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period,” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.
