Truly, this will go on my list of favorite books.
Writing letters should never go out of style. The beauty and the depth of the letters in this book brought tears to my eyes. These were men who were either truly in love or had within them emotions that could only be expressed by the written word. They were not throwing words on a page or murmuring a quick "I love you" They were laying bare their hearts. I was touched.
Would that I receive a letter one day with even a percentage of this dedication. I grew jealous of the women that received them.
Beautiful book...simply beautiful.

“Oh continue to love me -
never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours”
― Beethoven
I'm a sucker for Sex and the city and when Carrie mentioned this book, I put it into my TBR pile.
This is a collection of letters by famous people like Kafka, Beethoven, Napoleon etc from the first century to early nineteenth, so pretty much we will get a grasp of how these great men felt the love!
This was not as good as I expected. There were only a handful of letters that I actually found romantic and beautiful. However, in this book, you'll definitely find beauty, art which we have forgotten in our text communication world. I can not even remember when was the last time I wrote a letter or got any from lover!
3.5 maybe!

these letters were just beautiful and made me feel like a 17th century babe in a corset. there is nothing like reading love letters of people who thought these letters would stay private👀
i wish i hadn’t rushed to finish this book, i think it would be best enjoyed if you read a couple everyday
ig my main criticism is why are all these letters from white men? have you never read arabic poetry and love letters? have you never read Sultan Suleiman’s love letters to his Hurrem? we were robbed. also, this book could use an editer; there were a few typos and the last poem was a repeat of the previous one??

I should admit, sometimes I was embarrassed to read all these private letters that probably was never meant to be published in the book like this. Sometimes I was shocked, sometimes deeply moved. But mostly touched by Kafka's letter to Felice which was the main reason for me to read this book

Some of the letters in here are laughable and sexist but many of them did make me gush and filled my heart, such sweet words!

ordered this from thriftbooks while watching sex and the city (2008) because i needed to know what big was spamming carrie’s email with. here are my reviews of the letter writing skills of the “great men”—
ovid: fantasizing that your wife is emaciated because your absence gives her such anxiety? okay freak. also, i haven’t forgotten the ars amatoria, bitch. 2/10
pliny the elder: “fans the fire of my longing” haha get it cause he died in the eruption of vesuvius haha 5/10
henry viii: why is he even in included in this anthology?? “written by the hand of him who would willingly remain yours” you DECAPITATED HER 1/10
henry the great: why did he write the song 500 miles… “would go a thousand miles to throw himself at your feet” okay… although idk he talks a little too much about feet in this one. 3.5/10
sir walter raleigh: imagine your husband records his last words for you and wastes a long ass paragraph reminding u that baily and adrian owe him money. this is just his will and i wanted him to die faster so it might be shorter. 0/10
oliver cromwell: some of these dudes spend more time talking about themselves than the woman. canceled 0/10
voltaire: “adieu, there is nothing that i will not brave for your sake” voltaire i never doubted u. 8.5/10
george washington: this is just him trying to distract her from the fact that his one true love is the continental army 3/10
goethe: “i cannot help loving you more than is good for me… in you i have a measure for every woman, for everyone; in your love a measure for all that is to be” absolutely devoured this one 10/10
robert burns: points for signing off as “your ardent lover” but overall mid, sorry rob 6/10
mozart: “while i was writing the last page, tear after tear fell on the paper. but i must cheer up—catch—an astonishing number of kisses are flying about—the deuce!—i see a whole crowd of them. ha!… ha!… i have just caught three—they are delicious—“ the vibes of this letter r so normal until this P.S. but i admire the dedication to the bit 7/10
napoleon: they r cowards for not using the one where he asks her not to bathe. 5/10
beethoven: i fear every line of this ate—“i can only live wholly with you or not at all”—“is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of heaven?”—“your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men—at my age i need a steady, quiet life—can that be so in our connection?”—“ever mine/ever thine/ever ours” insane behavior. 12/10
lord byron: 31-year old lord byron openly hitting on an 18-year old fresh out of the convent is like.. a crazy choice for this anthology. also, despite hugo and henry viii also being included in this collection, byron is the only person to have letters addressed to more than one woman, which i think is a nice nod to his whore behavior. 3/10
john keats: you already knew this would be a banger. “my recovery of bodily health will be of no benefit to me if you are not all mine when i am well”—“i see life in nothing but the certainty of your love” rip keats u would have loved john green (it’s a tuberculosis joke please laugh) 9/10
victor hugo: “this union is love, true love… a religion” yet somehow these letters are mid. 4.5/10
frank liszt: i just want to know why he had to call her his sister…….. 3.5/10
nathaniel hawthorne: he made it so far into this letter and then just became unbelievably horny. anyway “i never felt sure of going to heaven, till i knew that you loved me” banger 9.5/10
percy shelley: surely there’s a better letter than this one in existence?? incredibly boring, 2/10
robert browning: the strength of their relationship is truly the mutual respect for each other’s work. incredible stunning goals 10/10
flaubert: quite literally insane. trying not to type out the whole thing. uhh “i want to gorge you with all the joys of the flesh, so that you faint and die… when you are old, i want you to recall those few hours, i want your dry bones to quiver with joy when you think of them”—“were you here, i’d bite you” crazy 15/10
poe: him and hawthorne just gotta sprinkle a little spooky freaky in there.. “the merest whisper that concerned you awoke in me a shuddering sixth sense, vaguely compounded of fear, ecstatic happiness, and a wild, inexplicable sentiment that resembled nothing so nearly as the consciousness of guilt” h u h ?? 7/10
tolstoy: this is like three lines long and basically he says he mostly likes her cause she’s hot. did the editors not have anything else? 1.5/10
balzac: “ah! the angels are not as happy in paradise as i was yesterday!” 8/10
robert schumann: “the knights of old were better off: they could go through fire or slay dragons to win their ladies, but we of today have to content ourselves with more prosaic methods, such as smoking fewer cigars, and the like” sooo true icon 7/10
major sullivan ballou: literally who is this?? (apparently a major in the union army) but someone tell sir walter raleigh this is how you do an impending death letter. “but, o sarah! if the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, i shall always be near you” and then he died??? insane insane 9/10
mark twain: i can’t make myself like him i’m sorry 5/10
van gogh: this is not a love letter, this is a letter to his brother about not being able to write a letter to a girl. eh 2/10
lewis carroll: these are letters to CHILDREN WHAT THE FUCK like canonically in sex and the city (2008) do we think mr big typed these ones or like… absolutely foul on his part and on the editor’s 0/10
pierre curie: “in taking action, no matter in what direction, we should never be sure of not doing more harm than good” i have TERRIBLE news for you, pierre :( 5.5/10
george bernard shaw: overall eh but the final line goes crazy—“o ellen, what will you say when the receding angel asks you why one of your sins have my name to them?”—although the grammar leaves me with questions. 6/10
jack london: at least he knows he’s repressed. 5/10
admiral peary: reading about his 14-year old inuit wife whom he had a child with in the biography section ruined any positives in this letter for me <3 1/10
kafka: incredible. a letter begging fräulein felice to stop sending letters because every time he gets one he has a panic attack. 7.5/10
woodrow wilson: who wanted this guy to be here? boring. 2/10
so do we think big copied and pasted those emails or do we think he typed them or

Kniha, která názvem slibuje hodně. V reálu ale nic moc. Chybí souvislosti. Například co to bylo za ženy, kterým bylo psáno. Co vlastně byli zač pisatelé? A jak dopadly vztahy, které ponoukaly k poetickým výlevům citů? Ne, že bych velkou část odpovědí neznala...ale ne každý zná a ví. Nápad dobrý, ale nedotažený. A část s poezií nevnesla barvy do šedivého dne. Čekala jsem víc...

This was not a good as I expected. There were only a handful of letters that I actually found romantic and beautiful. So many others were actually rather depressing and not romantic at all (in my opinion). One thing for sure, however, is that in this book you'll definitely find a beauty in styles of writing from worlds ago, which, for a literary person like me, is quite enjoyable. The vocabulary and style of communication is just not what it used to be, and in this book I found, at least, that I could enjoy that these men took true time to write down their thoughts. What ever happened to such beautiful language?

''...only the times change, not men's hearts...''
/Robert Schumann to Clara Wieck/
Ziniet, kas šo grāmatu padarītu vēl populārāku nekā to izdarīja tas, ka Kerija Bredšova to lasīja ''Sekss un lielpilsēta'' pirmajā filmā? Tas, ka to ieskaņotu audio formātā un tur šīs vēstules lasītu Benedikts :)
Vēstules papīra formātā ir skaistas. Tās ir personiskas un īpašas.
Grāmata plāna un tāpēc es to izlasīju ļoti ātri.
Taču, tas par audio formātu nemaz nav joks - ja šīs vēstules lasītu vīrietis ar patīkamu balsi, tās klausīties būtu vēl patīkamāk nekā vnk izlasīt grāmatas formātā.
Burvīgi. Ko vēl piebilst.

Read this on my way home nd i just feel the need to b loved
September 13, 2025
Hands down one of the best reads ever. Absolutely reccomend. If you love a good love letter then this is the collection for you.
Reading the brief backstory of the man that wrote the letter really put into frame where their angst or their longingn was coming from. I was surprised by the scandelousness of the writer's I knew of through their literary works and dumbfounded by their audactiy and vagrant behavior. I was also plesantly surprised and admired the words of those I'd heard of but paid no attention to. While many of my literary favorites met my expectations and even exceeded them, the amount of letters I fell in love with, written by men I would never have guessed would have IT in them, blew me away. And the best love letters, they werent even love letters, not to me, they were letters of loning and of sorrow and farwell.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, there was one letter, literally one (which was different since most of the men had two to three letters, often more) from Sullivan Ballou... I highlighted the entire letter. This is not a book that needs to be read in sequence, skip around, skip over if you must but do not pass Ballou by. Ballou's letter to his wife has to be one of the most beautifully writen, honest, heartfelt and harrowing letters I've ever read. Talk about soul of a man--his is there, in that letter, and I strongly suggest you read it.

Honestly I felt like I was reading the same love letter 💌 just from different men in different time periods.

Finished reading: 3.8/5 ⭐
Question: since when (and why) we modern people stop writing achingly romantic letters like these? That Beethoven's "ever thine, ever mine, ever ours" seriously got me 🤧😭💕 every time

Some of these moved me to tears (Sir Walter Raleigh). Many made me giggle. Most made my heart smile. And few made my brows furrow. It truly is a lost art and confession of faith - written word. While some letters left me at peace, I found a sense of urgency and panic in most letters, desperation. What powerful insight to know that love brought even these powerful figures to their knees.
Letters from Fitzgerald, Roosevelt, Wilson, and Beethoven were love inspired...
Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.

i started this book bc i wanted to feel the passion pretechnology era but honestly i ended up laughing most of the time because i would read these super sweet, nice, beautifully written letters then the next paragraph would be “this man cheated on his wife 89 times after this”
it was also so funny to see names i recognized . when van gogh came up i cracked up like ariana what r u doing here
3 stars bc it was funny but it wasn’t quite what i was looking for
