Book Description
It was once said of the scientist and diplomat Jeffries Wyman that he tried to raise his children, after their mother's death, by writing them letters. In 1950, Wyman spent six months in Japan--giving scientific lectures, meeting notables, searching out traditional villages, and writing intense, keenly observant letters to his then-college-age children. Published for the first time, these letters offer a candid and startling depiction of Wyman's experience in postwar Japan. His letters to his daughter Anne offer an unusual perspective on Japan at a time when most Americans there got a far less intimate view of Japanese life. Wyman embraced the culture of a country that welcomed him, from the lowliest peasants to the Emperor--a country where his epiphany in a tea garden would later define the future of allosteric biochemistry.

Book Description
This volume provides the first English translation of all the known correspondence to and from S ren Kierkegaard, including a number of his letters in draft form and papers pertaining to his life and death. These fascinating documents offer new access to the character and lifework of the gifted philosopher, theologian, and psychologist. Kierkegaard speaks often and openly about his desire to correspond, and the resulting desire to write for a greater audience. He consciously recognizes letter-writing as an opportunity to practice composition. Unlike most correspondence, Kierkegaard's letters expressly "do not require a reply"--he insists on this as a principle, while he clearly and earnestly yearns for a response to his efforts. Among his other principles are purposefulness, directness, and the equality of a letter to a visit with a friend (Kierkegaard preferred the former to the latter). Perhaps more than anything else in print, Kierkegaard's Letters and Documents reveal his love affair with the written word.
