An inviting and highly readable new translation of Aristotle's
complete Poetics-the first and best introduction to the art of
writing and understanding stories Aristotle's Poetics is the most
important book ever written for writers and readers of
stories-whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or
nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot,
character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of
other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written
more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading
for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story-or
understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological
effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read
because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to
follow, and even the best translations are geared more to
specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp
Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a
Story, Philip Freeman presents the most readable translation of the
Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable handbook more
accessible, engaging, and useful than ever before. In addition to
its inviting and reliable translation, a commentary on each
section, and the original Greek on facing pages, this edition of
the Poetics features unique bullet points, chapter headings, and
section numbers to help guide readers through Aristotle's unmatched
introduction to the art of writing and reading stories.
