Very Good Collection,
By Sara (OK, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Famous love letters (Hardcover)
This compilation of letters is divided by the editor into four major categories: Love Down the Ages, Passionate Love, Star-Crossed Lovers, and Joys & Consolations. It features letters from Goethe, Napoleon, Lord Byron, Frida Kahlo, Catherine of Aragon, Kafka, Mozart, Churchill, and many others. It is filled with pictures and the editor provides at least one page of backstory for each couple. My only complaint about the book is that it contains only one letter per couple and, in several cases, the example used is only an excerpt rather than the letter's full text. The lush illustrations and the history lessons make up for this flaw in the end, but if you are shopping for a truly prolific collection of letters, this book would probably not be the right selection.
