Letters for the Ages
Get a glimpse into the intimate thoughts of history’s artists, scientists, athletes, philosophers, and public figures through Of Lost Time’s Letters for the Ages series.
Letters for the Ages is a series of eclectic anthologies, each comprised of around 100 outstanding letters written throughout history, and united by an overarching theme. The resulting volumes burst with the charm and quirkiness of the individuals whose words are brought to life – their stories told, often for the first time, in their own voice.
