One of the greatest and most interesting letter exchanges that world literature has produced. The correspondence reveals a surprising versatility. Not only for those interested in the Renaissance and humanism are the letters incredibly engaging—you can almost see people enthusiastically milling about with all sorts of newly discovered manuscripts from antiquity—but also those who are interested in political developments. The translation is so readable because these letters are very much of this time. All aspects of the human condition are addressed: science, irritability, pettiness, friendship, to name but a few.
