<p><b>An inviting and highly readable new translation of Aristotle’s complete <i>Poetics</i>—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories</b><br><br>Aristotle’s <i>Poetics </i>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 <i>Poetics </i>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.
