A compulsive collection of the world's most entertaining, inspiring and powerful letters with love at their heart.I’m not au fait with the Coles’ correspondence, or Hugh Grant’s, Jemima Khan’s, George Michael’s and God knows who else whose phones have been hacked. Andy Lamberton has done a masterful job, through a wonderfully imaginative medium, of bringing 'exile' to life as a contemporary and not merely a historical reality. In ancient Rome, Cicero (106 – 43 BC) is known for his Letters to Atticus, to Brutus, to friends, and to his brother. The term "familiar letters" was used to designate letter collections consisting of authentic correspondence which had been written for a private audience prior to publication. The framework is that Daniel was going into exile into a secular society back then, but today as the West becomes increasingly secular we too are like exiles seeking to live for God, stay the course, and grow in holiness in the midst of a culture that is not our own.

Sometimes it’s a ding-dong battle between the two women, and I would love to have the other side of the correspondence, which was never published but presumably exists somewhere.There’s a wonderful letter, for example, describing a drunken night out with Sheridan, the dramatist, by then quite elderly.

In turn, Andy reminds us to acknowledge the exile we live in, of the importance of journeying alongside other like-minded disciples, and that we follow the champion and perfector of our faith.In 1999 he successfully moved for an inquiry by the NSW Parliament into a statutory Bill of Rights for NSW. Seven years in the making, The Visual History of Type, McNeil's definitive survey of type and typography from 1450-2015, was published in 2017. Her older sister Sukie went missing in an air raid, and she’s desperate to discover what happened to her. Erasmus (1466 –1536 CE) and Justus Lipsius (1547 – 1606 CE) also promoted flexibility and enjoyable reading in letter-writing, rather than a rule-focused formula. Pliny the Younger's letters are the oldest extant letter collection in which the letters were collected by the author himself.
