WRITTEN IN HISTORY: LETTERS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD celebrates the
letter in world history and personal life. Acclaimed historian
Simon Sebag Montefiore selects letters that have changed the course
of global events or touched a timeless emotion - whether passion,
rage, humour - from ancient times to the twentieth century: some
are noble and inspiring, some despicable and unsettling, some are
exquisite works of literature, others brutal and coarse. From love
letters to declarations of war, ranging from Elizabeth I to Stalin,
Marcus Aurelius to Machiavelli, Oscar Wilde to Balzac, Rameses the
Great to Gandhi, Montefiore explores the significance of each piece
of correspondence and shows how letters can reveal the
personalities of some of history's most fascinating figures, and in
turn offer a unique perspective on the past and a relevance for
today. These are letters everyone should read. (p) Orion Publishing
