Seeking inspiration for a new font design in an antique store in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota, graphic designer Carolyn Porter stumbled across a bundle of letters and was immediately drawn to their beautifully expressive pen-and-ink handwriting. She could not read the letters--they were in French--but she noticed all of them had been signed by a man named Marcel and mailed from Berlin to his family in France during the middle of World War II. As Carolyn grappled with designing the font, she decided to have one of Marcel's letters translated. Reading it opened a portal to a different time, and what began as mere curiosity quickly became an obsession with finding out why the letter writer, Marcel Heuze, had been in Berlin, how his letters came to be on sale in a store halfway around the world, and, most importantly, whether he ever returned to his beloved wife and daughters after the war. Marcel's Letters is the incredible story of Carolyn's increasingly desperate search to uncover the mystery of one man's fate during WWII, seeking answers across Germany, France, and the United States. Simultaneously, she continues to work on what would become the acclaimed P22 Marcel font, immortalizing the man and his letters that waited almost seventy years to be reunited with his family"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 Heuzé, Marcel,|d1912-1992|vCorrespondence. 600 10 Porter, Carolyn. 610 20 Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xConscript labor|zGermany|zBerlin. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|vPersonal narratives, French. 650 0 Prisoners of war|zGermany|zBerlin|vCorrespondence. 650 0 French|zGermany|zBerlin|vCorrespondence. 650 0 Penmanship, French|zGermany|zBerlin|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Graphic artists|zMinnesota|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xPersonal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|xMilitary|xWorld War II.|2bisacsh 650 7 DESIGN|xGraphic Arts|xTypography.|2bisacsh 651 0 Berlin (Germany)|xHistory, Military|y20th century. 700 1 Heuzé, Marcel,|d1912-1992,|ecorrespondent. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aPorter, Carolyn.|tMarcel's letters. |bFirst edition.|dNew York, NY : Skyhorse Publishing, 2017 |z9781510719347|w(DLC) 2017013792 994 C0|bMCP
