FIRST DIARY
REMEMBRANCES FROM THE PAST

December 2nd, 1918

 

I have decided to write a bit every day so that I can tell my sad story, little by little, from beginning to end.

During the first twenty-one years of my life, you would think I was the happiest person on earth. It’s been eleven years since then – eleven unbearable years. The only thing I am longing for now is some solace or something to keep me occupied.
It feels like yesterday, those happy days of craving a never-ending bliss with Anna. It can’t be true that this love has had such a sad and irreparable ending, that Anna has been dead for so many years now, that everything has faded away. No, I can’t believe it. Nine whole years without her…

“Why do you keep torturing yourself by thinking about all that?” they ask me. I understand. I need closure, but it is hard to find.

You do not know. Our love was no ordinary love. We were still at school when we fell in love with each other. Since then I had been imagining her name next to mine.

That man who brought destruction into our lives and sent her to the grave never loved her! He never considered Anna his one and only, like I did. He never saw anything in her eyes.

When I was young, I would stare for hours through my window, which overlooked hers. And when the weather was foul, that is when I would not budge an inch from there! I saw the people hurrying along, smiling at the thought of a warm soup and a cosy bed at home while I was wishing that the weather would continue so that I’d have a better chance of seeing her.

“What is Anna feeling at the moment? What does this colourless world look like through her eyes?” I would think.

And when I saw her in the lamplight, holding her embroidery, my longing became a life goal vindicated, my salvation from loneliness…

Only on holidays did I wish for good weather because a storm would lessen my chances to happen upon Anna and her family in the park. But still, I became nervous. I would have to greet her and it would be shameful for her parents to see me blush with embarrassment.

How happy were the days that followed! Shortly before her brother left the city to study, I got to know him better. He invited me to his home and I went many a time indeed. I swear to God, my acquaintance with Anna was not the product of my own initiative. I never would have found the courage. Those who have loved purely and vigorously in their early adolescence are well aware of that and deeply understand it.

Chronicles From The Future: The amazing story of Paul Amadeus Dienach Description:

In 1921, Paul Amadeus Dienach falls into a one-year-long coma. During this time, his consciousness slides into the future and enters the body of another human being, Andreas Northam, in the year 3906 A.D.

The people of the future soon realize his peculiar medical situation and reveal to him the dramatic course of humanity from the 20th until the 40th century, escorting him on an eye-opening journey across the new Europe.

When Dienach awakens from his coma, his consciousness returns to his body and he finds himself back in 1922. Knowing that he doesn’t have much time left due to his fragile health, Dienach writes a diary, recording whatever he could remember from his amazing experience. Without any close friends and relatives to entrust, he doesn’t say a word to anyone out of fear of being branded a lunatic.

Before he dies, he hands his diary to his favourite student, George Papachatzis, later prominent Professor of Administrative Law, Rector of Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences and Vice President of the Council of State.

When Papachatzis translates the diary, he realizes that what his teacher describes in detail, is an account of time travel and the knowledge he has gained about mankind’s history in the forthcoming centuries – from the nightmare of ‘the Number’ (Overpopulation) and World Wars up until the 23rd century, to the world-changing globalisation, the radical new administration system, the colony on Mars and the next human evolutionary stage, Homo Occidentalis Novus.

By the end of World War II, the translated diary circulates only as hidden knowledge amongst high ranking masons in the lodges of Athens. Two years before the end of the Greek dictatorship in 1972, Professor Papachatzis, despite an intense dispute, decides to publish a small number of Dienach’s diary in Greek. The Greek Church protests against the content and soon Papachatzis is threatened with social exclusion.

Paul Dienach was not an author, poet, or professional writer. Rather, he was an ordinary man who kept a journal, never with the expectation that it would be published.

Today, for the first time, this diary has been carefully edited and translated to become readable, but its content and message have not been altered. This unique and controversial book, a universal legacy, is now uncensored and available to everyone.

This is the history of our future. We deliver it to you.
