50 Greatestetters brings to youetters sent throughout history that have proven to be enduring symbols ofove, sincerity, anger or of intense historical value. Theoveetters by Henry VIII, Beethoven, John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe and more impress upon us theonging and the desperation of theseove-stricken people in the throes of desire. The innocence of children, such as Grace Bedell's childish suggestion that ended up creating one of the most iconic American images, of the young Helen Keller's determination and optimism in trying to achieve what others thought was impossible, of the twelve-year-old Fidel Castro's cheekyetter to Roosevelt asking for ten dollars or ofittle Phyllis's innocent question of whether scientists prayed to God. All these and more are present in this volume to give you a flavour of the time, and the mood the authors of theseetters wereiving in. It also becomes an exercise inooking at the economy of words and information that these people of the past employed, something that we in our present moment can afford toearn.
