104 Writing letters is the first step to becoming a real writer. Read the letter written by a famous French philosopher and writer Voltaire. Guess what the two shortest letters meant.
There are many unusual stories in the history of letter writing, and this is one which will doubtless be interesting to everybody.
The letter that we are speaking about was written by Voltaire, the great French philosopher and writer. Voltaire wrote a pamphlet (памфлет) that he sent to his publisher. Some time passed, but Voltaire received no news of its fate. Voltaire, who knew his publisher very well, at last sent him a letter which only contained the sign “?”.
All copies of the pamphlet were already sold. It was quite clear to the publisher what the sign “?” meant in Voltaire’s letter.
So he sent an answer that was as short as Voltaire’s letter and no less clear. The answer also contained only one sign —“!”
