Eine Chronik ganz besonderer Art: Geschrieben auf Anregung des Londoner -Sunday Telegraph- Herausgebers, hat Sir Alec Guinness über 18 Monate hinweg scheinbar ganz Alltägliches aus dem Leben eines -Ruheständlers- notiert. Gedanken über Gott und die Welt, über Kirche und Politik, Gesundheit und Garten, Essen und Trinken - und natürlich über Theater und Film, Bücher und Gemälde. Beginnend mit dem Neujahrstag 1995 und endend im Juni 1996, verknüpfen die Aufzeichnungen pointierte Reflexionen über ganz aktuelle Ereignisse mit farbigen Anekdoten aus einer langen und brillanten Künstlerkarriere.
