Reseña: From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men love is a delicious poison (William Congreve) for others a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire & books & music (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII) or penetrate the depths of ones heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife Calpurnia. Taken together these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men havent changed so very much over the last 2000 years passion jealousy hope and longing are all represented here - as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to and receiving one from the person you love most.
