"לשיר מוקיר שר" - כותב ש. שלום לשמעון פרס - "מנחת ידידות ויקר". ונתן אלתרמן פונה אליו בתואר "הבנאי בחסד עליון אשר תודת עמו נתונה לו". "אחי" - מכנה אותו אברהם סוצקובר. מדובר בתופעה ייחודית ומרגשת של אישיות פוליטית מהשורה הראשונה, הקשורה קשר חי, שוטף ומקיף לעולם הספרות והסופרים בישראל ובעולם. אין כמעט יצירה ספרותית שנוצרה בארץ בעשורים האחרונים, בתחום השירה, הסיפורת והעיון שנעלמה מעיניו ומהתייחסותו של שמעון פרס, אדריכל השינויים הפוליטיים מזרח התיכון וזוכה פרס נובל לשלום. וההתייחסות עצמה, ספרותית טהורה ולגופם של דברים, מצביעיה על רגישות גבוהה, יכולת אנליטית וראייה השוואתית רחבת היקף. אסופת המכתבים הרצ"ב, הערוכה באופן כרונולוגי, מחזיקה רק חלק ממכלול מכתביו של שמעון פרס לסופרים ולאנשי רוח. ועם זאת היא מהווה מעין רישום הסטורי - תרבותי של פני ישראל מאז אורי צבי גרינברג, אלתרמן וש.שלום, דרך עמוס עוז, א.ב. יהושע ויהודית הנדל ועד דוד גרוסמן, ס. יזהר ורבים רבים אחרים. בנוסף למכתבים, כולל הספר הקדמות לספרים, הרצאות, ממוארים והרהורים, כולם פרי עטו של שר החוץ של מדינת ישראל, פוליטיקאי-אניטלקטואל ללא מתחרה.
