Normanden Fridtjof Nansen er en af historiens helt store opdagelsesrejsende, og han var en stor inspiration for den danske polarforsker Knud Rasmussen. "Tre år i drivisen" er baseret på Nansens egen beretning om sin polarfærd med træskibet Fram i årene 1893-1896. Den fortæller historien om en fantastisk og farlig ekspedition i det smukke, men ufremkommelige ishav og om det sammenhold og planlægning, der skulle til for, at ekspeditionen endte i succes og ikke katastrofe.

"Wie man wird, was man ist." So beschreibt Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) seine autobiografische Schrift, in der er rückblickend Deutungen seiner eigenen philosophischen Schriften darlegt. Er ist dabei keinesfalls bescheiden, sondern präsentiert seine Erkenntnisse als schicksalhafte Ereignisse von globaler Bedeutung. "Ecce Homo" ist das letzte Werk vor seinem Nervenzusammenbruch im Jahre 1889.

Max Weber, Gründer der modernen Soziologie, nahm es 1919, kurz nach dem ersten Weltkrieg, auf sich, in Zeiten von politischem Chaos und Revolutionsphantasien nicht nur das politische Geschehen in Deutschland zu analysieren, sondern die grundsätzliche Frage zu beantworten, welche Charaktereigenschaften und Ansichten für einen Menschen, der die Politik als Berufung sieht, nötig sind. Besonders interessant und geradezu zeitlos in der Analyse ist Webers Unterscheidung zwischen "Gesinnungsethik" und "Verantwortungsethik" - Begriffe, die noch heute Politiker in wahre Zwickmühlen bringen können.

In den Briefen, abgeschickt u.a. aus Turin, Nizza, Sils Maria, an seine Mutter, seine Schwester, an Freunde wie den Komponisten Peter Gast, an Kollegen wie den Historiker Jakob Burkhard oder den ersten Professor, der in Kopenhagen eine Nietzsche-Vorlesung gehalten hat, Brandes, zeigt sich der Philosoph Nietzsche von einer sehr privaten Seite, berichtet von Begegnungen und dem täglichen Leben, meist bekümmert über seinen schlechten Gesundheitszustand, aber mehr noch ernüchtert, erbost zuweilen, traurig gestimmt, dass eine intellektuelle Resonanz auf sein Werk mit einer Ausnahme so gut wie gar nicht zu erkennen ist.
