Much the way light displays every color when passed through a prism, love letters express the spectrum of our emotions, offering a colorful glimpse into the soul of the writer, and of the writer&#8217;s beloved.

Unlike interviews or biographies, these letters give us marvelous insight into the lives of some of history&#8217;s most famous lovers and provide intimate glimpses into the hearts of some whose fervent or amusing expressions of devotion will come as a great surprise. <br><br>Zelda Fitzgerald to Scott Fitzgerald<br>Michelangelo Buonarroti to Vittoria Colonna<br>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
