Thank goodness for letters, whether they be folded, wrinkled, slightly yellowed or in perfect condition, which bring us more satisfaction and historical knowledge than we can possibly imagine. To our delight, they are stunning treasure troves which bear intimate witness and details about romances, tragedies and daily life that could not possibly appear anywhere else.

That is why Yoken's third collection is tantamount to history, like no other mechanism written or otherwise. T...
Thank goodness for letters, whether they be folded, wrinkled, slightly yellowed or in perfect condition, which bring us more satisfaction and historical knowledge than we can possibly imagine. To our delight, they are stunning treasure troves which bear intimate witness and details about romances, tragedies and daily life that could not possibly appear anywhere else. However, they are moribund in today's ubiquitous email culture, and they are moribund faster than we can imagine, alas. That is why Yoken's third collection is tantamount to history, like no other mechanism written or otherwise. The priceless collection of literary bijoux, in A HISTORY OF LETTERS, brings together unique and surprising snippets of letters written by men and women of high repute who write about variegated subjects, personal and otherwise. They come from individuals of all ages, walks of life, and different points of view. As such, archivists, historians, students, scholars, and the general public will have a field day examining, dissecting and expatiating on these brief extracts, which open a fascinating and coruscating window on our history, and truly capture a great perspective that shape their world. In addition, the snippets, which span decades, offer fresh and enlightening insights on personal milestones, along with difficult and pleasant moments in each luminary's life. Perusing the pages is indeed captivating. All in all, Yoken's monumental work is an intimate, enriching, and compelling document that should be on every reader's bookshelf. That is the true power of this invaluable work.
