Description:
In the age of e-mail, faxes, and instant messaging — there
is still value in a love letter. Collector David Lowenherz presents
what he feels are the 50 greatest love letters. The letters give insight
into the lives of some of history's famous lovers and provide intimate
glimpses into the hearts of figures that we remember for things other
than their love lives. Letters include: Zelda Fitzgerald to Scott Fitzgerald,
Harry Truman to Bess Wallace, Benjamin Franklin to Madame Brillon, George
Bush to Barbara Pierce, Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, Ernest Hemingway
to Mary Welsh, Jack Kerouac to Sebastian Sampas, Virginia Woolf to Vita
Sackville-West, Ludwig van Beethoven to the"Immortal Beloved",
Frida Kahlo to Diego Rivera, and many more.
