Críticas:
* Every so often someone writes a book about an obscure subject and uses it to illuminate the rest of the world ... this is one of the best Evening Standard on JUST MY TYPE * A great book ... Simon Garfield's new book is a rollicking sweep through map history, packed with curiosities and written with verve ... On the Map will inspire you to take a trip to somewhere new Independent on Sunday on ON THE MAP * Fascinating, delightful, illuminating. The diarists soon become like old friends ... and make our wartime past seem no more distant than yesterday Mail on Sunday on OUR HIDDEN LIVES
Reseña del editor:
To the Letter tells the story of our remarkable journey through the mail. From Roman tablets discovered near Hadrian's Wall to the wonders and terrors of email, Simon Garfield explores how we have written to each other over the centuries and what our letters reveal about our lives. Along the way he delves into the great correspondences of our time, from Cicero and Petrarch to Jane Austen and Ted Hughes (and John Keats, Virginia Woolf, Jack Kerouac, Anais Nin and Charles Schulz), and traces the very particular advice offered by bestselling letter-writing manuals. He uncovers a host of engaging stories, including the tricky history of the opening greeting, the ideal ingredients for invisible ink, and the sad saga of the dead letter office. To the Letter is a wonderful celebration of letters in every form, and a passionate rallying cry to keep writing.
