From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters 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 (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven't changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; 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.

I saw this book featured in "The Sex and the City" movie. After watching it I search for the book only to discover that it didn't exist. So someone saw the opportunity and did it.
The book is a beautiful collection of letters (around forty) from Mozart to Napolean, and so many others. Before each letter there's a small introduction explaining who the correspondents were, and frequently how the two meet and/or got together.

The cover isn't as pinky as the picture shows, but it's nice. It has a soft blue/grey in the background and the rest is in a softer pink than in the picture. The hardcover binding it's in a really dark red, i'd discribe it has as chocolate red (if such a thing existed). But who cares about the cover...

It's a really great book, well worth the money.
And if you guys are looking for a valentine present, or even a just because present, this might be it.
