books about: correspondence     books:       Maurice and Therese26 reviews Patrick Ahern Doubleday, 1998 Wonderful What a wonderful book about a wonderful saint! This book, while not a difficult read, is certainly rich in emotion, beauty, and spirituality. If you have read St.Therese's "Story of a Soul", this is an excellent "second book" to read. It tells of the story of a relationship between a seminarian/priest and St.Therese in her last days. I recommend it for anyone's spiritual edification, especially ...             Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman21 reviews Richard P. Feynman Basic Books, 2005 Feynman on Feynman My main motivation for reading "Perfectly Reasonable Deviations" was to gain further insight into Feynman's personality and value system by the direct and reliable method of studying verbatim his interactions with other people. He has been so thoroughly enshrined (perhaps not unwillingly) as a brilliant, difficult, puckish character that I couldn't help being a bit puzzled about what he was ...             84, Charing Cross Road99 reviews Helene Hanff Penguin (Non-Classics), 1990 You've Got Mail, Reader If you are a lover or collector of books, or a reader of good literature, this one is for you. An epistolary novel, it consists of letters mainly between Helene Hanff, a none-too-successful writer in Manhattan, and Frank Doel, a clerk in a bookstore at 84 Charing Cross Road in London. It has been a successful stage play and movie. The English were still suffering from the hardships of WWII and ...             All Creatures Great and Small110 reviews James Herriot Bantam, 1985 Classic Books for Animal Lovers "All Creatures Great and Small" is the first of four books in this brilliantly written series. The companion volumes are "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "All Things Wise and Wonderful", and "The Lord God Made Them All". James Herriot (whose actual name was James Alfred Wight) began his veterinary practice in 1939 and continued serving his community for half a century. Each story that he ...             All For The Union22 reviews Elisha Hunt Rhodes Orion Books, a Division of Crown Publishers, 1991 Following the footsteps It isn't easy to find quality diaries written so well from the Civil War sometimes; although this book will rank with in the top 10. Popularized and quoted often in Ken Burn's Civil War series on PBS, Rhodes' book about his life as a soldier come to life. Rhodes brings the excitement and patriotic fervor of being a new recruit in the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry early in the war. This patriotic ...             To Sir, with love (A Pyramid Book)22 reviews E. R Braithwaite Pyramid Publications, Inc, 1966 A Moving Story! When Mr. Braithwaite took the job as a teacher, he never expected his students to be barbaric savages. Though tempting, Mr. Braithwaite didn't give up, teaching the teenage rebels to call him "Sir" and treat him and others with self-respect. With hard work and dedication, he turned this class of deliquents into a class of young men and women with class. This book is thoroughly motivating. It is ...             War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars36 reviews Andrew Carroll, Joan Allen, ... Simon & Schuster Audio, 2001 An incredibly profound book! This book is a great read. It is refeshing to be able to read words, thoughts and dreams from people as they perform such honorable duty overseas. This book is powerful and should be required reading for all, especially Americans. Some anti-war activist may think it is "pro-war" but it isn't just that. This book reveals personal thoughts and challenges faced by American military personnel in ...             Shocked, Appalled, and Dismayed! How to Write Letters of Complaint That Get Results51 reviews Ellen Phillips Vintage, 1998 Every person in USA should have this book! I have the book for several years and its contents have saved me time and money over and over again. It is rich in samples of real letters and complaints, with real cases. I recommend to anyone that ever needs to write a complaint letter and/or need to reach government agencies.             Fate is the hunter94 reviews Ernest Kellogg Gann Ballantine Books, 1969 Read through in few sittings - - This is one of those books that has a sneak ending - best appreciated by reading through at a steady rate (which only makes sense once the climax of the book is revealed). The stories, anecdotes and tales seem almost trite and mundane - but build to the showdown, for me a life lesson. Flying is revealed for the joy it is, for its wonder, the thrill of a good landing when one has fought the good ...             The Adams-Jefferson Letters: The Complete Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and Abigail and John Adams20 reviews Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, ... Clarion, 1971 Not a book about History, this IS History Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall and to be able to share in the thoughts and happenings of important places and people? Well, if your desires in that regard include the office of the Presidency of the United States and the early days following the American Revolution, that is exactly what this book provides. As was typical of statesmen of that day, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams ...             Letters and papers from prison16 reviews Dietrich Bonhoeffer Macmillan, 1968 Insightful and moving letters that transcend human created myth. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters & Papers from Prison was a most edifying read, primarily because it stripped away the mystery and mythical aura that surrounded him, before and after his murder by the Nazis in 1945. The fact that his reputation is so universally well known is greatly due in part to his brother-in-law, the late Eberhard Bethge. Having been raised in a very German household ...             The Best of Business Card Design 6 (The Best of Business Card Design)20 reviews Blackcoffee Design Inc Rockport Publishers, 2006 Great inspiration I found this book very useful. It gave great examples of wonderfully designed business cards and letterheads. Great inspirational tool.             Not so wild a dream16 reviews Eric Sevareid A.A. Knopf, 1958 The greatest of tributes: He wrote well. The rarest of coming of age stories, one that deals not with the emotional struggles that adolescents face upon reaching social maturity, but instead a story of a generation and a nation (would that we Xers had a representative as articulate and thoughtful as Severeid) coming to terms with their ideological commitments and global responsibilities.             Letters to Sam: A Grandfather's Lessons on Love, Loss, and the Gifts of Life20 reviews Daniel Gottlieb Sterling, 2006 Irreducibly simple yet profound "When it gets dark enough, men see stars," according to Emerson. In irreducibly simple yet profound words, Dan Gottlieb shares the wisdom he has derived from living in a wheelchair, battling his own inner demons, and practicing psychology for the past 25 years. His loves, losses, and lessons are informed and inspired by the unique bond he shares with his grandson, Sam, who is also ...             Love in the Time of War : A Remembering17 reviews Harriette S. Sherman Athena Pr Pub Co, 2000 Love in the Time of War Love in the Time of War,by Harriette S. Sherman, is a beautiful and inspiring book. I found myself laughing and crying as I identified with her through the trials of the war-time separation from her newly-wed husband. The letters and narratives evoke the rhythm of the war both at home and overseas in remarkably vivid language. I want to thank the author for the gift of her courage and generous ...             Letters of the Century: America 1900-199915 reviews The Dial Press, 1999 This book is a treasure This book is a wonderful collection of stories from every year of the 20th century. The authors of the letters are famous people and ordinary citizens. These letters express every human emotion love, loss, triumph, joy, and hope. This book is a pleasure to read. My favorite story is about a young woman writing to her best friend about her bad marriage. Her husband is physically abusive ...             The story of San Michele, (A Dutton, Everyman paperback)19 reviews Axel Martin Fredrik Munthe E.P. Dutton, 1957 A Magnificent Raconteur I came to this strange and wonderful book without the slightest inkling of what it was about -- simply because it was in the recommended reading for many guidebooks about Italy. First and foremost, it is an autobiography of a great physician and animal lover who just happened to spend some years of his life on Capri. Autobiographies can make for strange reading, especially when there are obvious ...             My Horses, My Teachers16 reviews Alois Podhajsky Trafalgar Square Books, 1997 My Horses, My Teachers Excellent. Having come from the 'nat.' horsemanship clinicianss, I found I was ready to know even more. Through the help of a new instructor who is 4th generation N. Calif. ranch (used to the vaquero ways) and who became appreciative of the Masters, I am starting a whole new exposure. It is wonderful! She rec'd this book and will add more as I go along. I am halfway into this book and ...             Every Pitcher Tells a Story: Letters Gathered by a Devoted Baseball Fan19 reviews Seth Swirsky Crown, 1999 AWESOME! This book is great! It's a quick read but fascinating! The photographs are excellent and the handwritten replies give you a really cool perspective on the players. This book is one you will keep on the coffee table, so you can always pick it up and read a letter--especially the one regarding Shoeless Joe Jackson--it's touching.             Ulysses S. Grant : Memoirs and Selected Letters : Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant / Selected Letters, ...20 reviews Ulysses S. Grant Library of America, 1990 A Masterpiece This book is a must-read for any Civil War or American history buff. Grant's writing is consistently clear, elegant, beautiful. He gives an engaging account of his wartime experiences that are accurate to the best of his ability, and he writes with introspection and humility. The personal letters at the end of the volume reveal much about this fascinating man, and are a welcome addition.
