Johann Peter Eckermann war einer der engsten Vertrauten Goethes: Zwischen 1823 und 1832 führte er zahlreiche Gespräche mit dem alten Dichterfürsten, die er anschließend in einem umfangreichen und vielbeachteten Werk zusammenstellte und kommentierte. Darin zeichnet Eckermann anhand ihrer Unterhaltungen über Kunst, Wissenschaft und das Leben ein messerscharfes Bild von Goethe: als "vielschichtigen Diamanten, der nach jeder Richtung eine andere Farbe spiegelt".

Questa storia comincia una sera d’inverno, il 7 gennaio 1978. Davanti a una sede del Movimento sociale italiano nel quartiere Appio Latino, a Roma, vengono uccisi a colpi d’arma da fuoco due attivisti di destra. Da quel momento, i morti di Acca Larentia diventano icone intoccabili del neofascismo. Questa storia ricomincia il 30 aprile 1987, quando viene arrestato Mario Scrocca, un militante di estrema sinistra. Secondo gli inquirenti, Scrocca avrebbe fatto parte del commando che colpì ad Acca Larentia.

Tra il 1956 e il 1972, sulle pagine del Mondo, del Corriere della Sera, dell'Europeo, Flaiano ha costruito, articolo dopo articolo, aforisma dopo aforisma, un catalogo implacabile delle illusioni italiane. Il suo sguardo non risparmia nulla, nemmeno sé stesso: ironico fino alla ferocia, malinconico fino alla tenerezza, sempre troppo lucido per l'epoca che lo circondava. L'aforisma si fa racconto. Il frammento si fa tempo. E il tempo rivela ciò che di questi testi è insieme il dono e la condanna: tutto ciò che Flaiano scriveva sessant'anni fa sull'Italia sembra scritto stamattina.

De 1862 à 1865, Edmond et Jules de Goncourt consignent, jour après jour, leurs Mémoires de la vie littéraire. Ce deuxième volume s’ouvre sur un premier janvier endeuillé, où le souvenir des absents glace le cœur, puis nous fait gravir l’escalier jusqu’à la modeste chambre du cinquième d’une vieille cousine, Cornélie, assaillie de visites — dames, collégiens, parents, au point qu’il n’y a plus de sièges.

De 1985 à 1992, j'ai transcrit des scènes, des paroles, saisies dans le R.E.R., les hypermarchés, le centre commercial de la Ville Nouvelle, où je vis. Il me semble que je voulais ainsi retenir quelque chose de l'époque et des gens qu'on croise juste une fois, dont l'existence nous traverse en déclenchant du trouble, de la colère ou de la douleur.
