This article presents a brief information on the book "The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh," edited by V.W. Van Gogh and translated by J. Van Gogh-Burner. Van Gogh is the ideal letter writer, and his books, is almost as important as his collected paintings would be and much more easily domesticated. They are not only intimate, revealing, beautifully written, but they have a special sort of sweet profundity about them, that is unmatched by anyone else. Yet there is nothing theatrical about them. They are as quiet as a conversation by the fireside in a Dutch parsonage.
