本书是庐隐与丈夫李唯建二人的六十八封通信集。庐隐说这六十八封书信“没有一篇、没有一句，甚至没有一个字，是造作出来的。字里行间自能读来满满情意。1928年，庐隐认识了比她小九岁的清华大学的学生——一位乐天派的青年诗人李唯建，这位青年诗人对庐隐的爱犹如潮水般猛烈。这对姐弟恋人留下了脍炙人口的千古名篇——《云鸥情书集》；爱拯救了庐隐，然而庐隐两次甜蜜的爱都是流星，且第二次爱的代价是因难产子宫破裂，把自己的生命永远定格在了三十五岁。她的文字使人热泪不止，她的人生使人凄切哀婉。1977年，李唯建写了一首抒发生平感怀的自传体长诗《吟怀篇》：“海滨灵海无潮汐，故人一去绝音息。冷鸥空留逐波影，异云徒伤变幻性。”庐隐对李唯建说：“你是绝顶的聪明人，纵使你沉默，你也是了然。”她对自己说：“我想游戏人间，反被人间游戏了。”

What is art? (Russian: Что такое искусство? Chto takoye iskusstvo?) is a book by Leo Tolstoy. It was completed in Russian in 1897 but first published in English due to difficulties with the Russian censors. Tolstoy cites the time, effort, public funds, and public respect spent on art and artists as well as the imprecision of general opinions on art as reason for writing the book. In his words, "it is difficult to say what is meant by art, and especially what is good, useful art, art for the sake of which we might condone such sacrifices as are being offered at its shrine".
