'A collection of letters', writes Michelle Lovric, 'is the freshest insight into the past, reminding us that what is now history was once real life lived by individuals as full of sensitivities, appetites, passions and prejudices as we are'. Her anthology is arranged by theme - love, family and friends, human creativity, history and science - and ranges across time from Sappho (612-580 BCE) writing to her lover to Einstein's letter of 1939, alerting President Roosevelt to the threat of the atom bomb. Slightly scruffy jackets.
