Book Description
This volume is a glorious anthology of romantic correspondence through the ages, giving readers an inside look at 34 of the world's greatest love stories as seen by the lovers themselves. In addition, this book tells the story behind each romance in an inviting style that brings both letter writer and recipient to life.
Here is a collection of intimate love letters that spans 2,000 years of history and circles the globe -- showing that the tender and passionate feelings expressed by a poet in ancient Rome are not all that different from those of a French king, a classical composer, or a British prime minister.
Some of the ardent correspondents featured are:
-- Heloise to Abelard
-- Napoleon to Josephine
-- Lord Byron to Teresa Guiccioli
-- Franz Liszt to Marie d'Agoult
-- Zelda Sayre to F. Scott Fitzgerald
This delightful collection of the private literature of love is filled with passion, personal struggle, history, joy, jealousy, and words of consolation. In short all of the elements involved in romantic love since the beginning of time.
