The Diaries of Ernst Jünger
"On Sunday the 17th February 2008 it is 10 years since the German writer, philosopher and notorious diary-writer Ernst Jünger passed away, 102 years old. Jünger became famous after the publication of his autographical war-book "In Stahlgewittern" 1920 ("The Storm of Steel. From the Diary of a German Stormtroop Officer on the Western Front"). Jünger had experienced the First World War 1914-1918 and had 16 pocket-size diary notebooks after his almost four years in the trenches of the Western Front – "quite a pile of them", as he put it, totally 1500 pages."

I saw that post on moleskinerie too - very interesting!
I found myself thinking: this guy was in the trenches writing. He probably wasn't obsessing about Noodler's ink and archival paper, and yet his writings survived. That's impressive on a lot of levels.
