Synopsis: 100 Letters That Changed the World by Colin Salter is a chronological collection of history-shaping correspondence, memos, telegrams, and notes. It explores how personal and official written words altered politics, sparked artistic movements, and altered human history. Key Themes and Content Political and Historical Turning Points: Documents like Henry VIII's love letters to Anne Boleyn (which led to the English Reformation) and the telegram warning about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Social Justice and Activism: Open letters such as Émile Zola's "J'accuse!" and Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail. Personal and Cultural Dramas: Intimate, tragic, or fateful notes, including the last SOS telegrams from the RMS Titanic, prison writings by Nelson Mandela, and final notes from cultural figures like Virginia Woolf. Quirky and Surprising Notes: Historical footnotes like Leonardo da Vinci's job application resume (which barely mentioned his art) and Beatrix Potter's letters that inspired Peter Rabbit. The selected letters demonstrate the power of the written word to inspire, astonish, and entertain and range from ink-inscribed tablets vividly describing life in ancient Rome to remarkable last wills and testaments, passionate outpourings of love and despair, and diplomatic notes with deadly consequences. Included are entries that span history: Leonardo da Vinci's résumé with barely a mention of his artistic talents Henry VIII's love letters to Anne Boleyn Beatrix Potter's correspondence with a friend's son that inspired Peter Rabbit The scrawled note that brought about Oscar Wilde's downfall SOS telegrams from the Titanic The telegram informing FDR about the bombing of Pearl Harbor Martin Luther King, Jr.'s open letter from a Birmingham jail Nelson Mandela's letters from prison As well as notable suicide notes or famous last words by cultural luminaries such as Virginia Woolf, Baudelaire, and Kurt Cobain.
