About the book: 2014 / Continuation of the bestseller of the same name, a collection of the most romantic and most touching love letters written by our outstanding compatriots to their lovers in a variety of times and eras, in a variety of life circumstances. This book contains the most romantic examples of the epistolary genre, undeservedly forgotten in our age of email and SMS messages - unique love letters from Russian statesmen, writers and poets of the 18th–20th centuries. Reading the love letters of our great compatriots, we understand that humanity, in essence, has changed little over the past two thousand years. Passion, jealousy, hope - we will find all these emotions here, along with the simple pleasure of sending a letter and receiving an answer from the person you love more than anything in the world. We will see that literary talent is not a necessary condition for a sincere letter of love, and it does not matter at all in what form it is written and in what way it reaches the addressee.
