From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, this book collects together some of the most romantic letters and love poems 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, or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain. Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde to the simple devotion of Robert Browning. Taken together, these love letters show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last decades. 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. The book in the SATC movie has NEVER existed in real; However this Love Letters book is of the most romantic books ever, and it's reasonable priced.
