Erich Maria Remarque loved many in his life. And Marlene Dietrich loved many. And they also loved each other. It was a short, but very bright love - it was preserved in the correspondence between the writer and the actress. Marlene Dietrich's letters, with the exception of a few, did not reach us, but Remarque's letters remained - beautiful and sad, full of tenderness and melancholy. They formed another novel by Remarque - a short story of not the first and not the last, but great love.
