内容介绍
看过欲望城市的人或许记得,凯莉在电影中拿着一本书念情书给大人物听。影迷们看到这幕纷纷跑到书店要找这本压根就不存在的书。但既然电影中提到的信件都是真的,Pan Macmillan决定要自己来出一本,原本只有一本,没想到非常受到欢迎,就这样出了一个系列…… 
英语书名:Love Letters of Great Men and Women
页数:300页
出版日期:2010年
 
书中收录历史名人的私人书信,而且都是最浪漫的情书,包括Jane Austen、Mozart、Anne Boleyn、Nelson。对William Congreve来说,爱是“美味的毒药”,对达尔文来说,爱是“温柔的妻子坐在火炉旁的沙发椅上,旁边有书本,耳朵听着音乐”。亨利八世觉得爱像太阳一样灼热,福楼拜则觉得爱像一场冷雨下进心底深处。这些历史伟人对爱的感受是这样,那对方又有什么感受?男性对爱有一番见解,那历史上重要的女性心底的希望和生活又是如何?书中收录的情书让我们知道,2千多年以来,很多事情其实变化不大。这些历史名人的激情、嫉妒、希望和渴望都摊在这里,当然,寄信给自己最爱的人,以及收到回信的快乐也都在书里忠实呈现。
 
书中收录的名人书信包括:Anne Boleyn、Beethoven、Edith Wharton、Mark Twain、Mary Wordsworth、Nell Gwyn (查尔斯二世的情妇)、Elizabeth Barrett Browning、GK Chesterton、Queen Victoria、Napoleon Bonaparte、The Empress Josephine、Mary Wollstonecraft、Amadeus Mozart……等。
