Discover the stories, traditions, and identities embedded within the tapestry of languages spoken across this captivating region.

From the Slavic symphony of tongues to the enigmatic Caucasian puzzle, from the Turkic tapestry to the Iranian interlude, this book delves into the historical, cultural, and social contexts that have shaped the development of Eastern Europe's languages.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I really want to write a book, but…” this book is for you. 
    Despite what you may have heard, becoming a successful author isn’t about having 67,973 Instagram followers, reaching “bestselling” status for seven seconds, or having Beyoncé take your book on tour with her (as amazing as that would be!).

    ★ Go from constantly questioning your writing ability, message, and expertise to confidently owning the valuable insights and perspectives you bring to the world 
    ★ Remove overthinking when it comes to how a book “should” come together and instead gain absolute clarity in the book-writing process your favorite authors follow 
    ★ Understand the six lesser-talked-about steps you really need to consider when writing a truly impactful book 
    ★ Get completely clear on your book’s core message, your magnetic hook, and how to speak directly to your target readers with understanding, compassion, and a roadmap that clearly lays out their next steps 
    You don’t need more experience, motivation, or hours in the day to write a book you’re immensely proud of. Once you know what to focus on and how to navigate the avalanche of “But what if…?” that arises along the way, you’ll finally be able to get the damn book written so it can take its rightful place as someone else’s favorite read.

    An inviting and accessible 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 accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.

    We broke our new series on learning Polish down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
    This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Polish. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Polish decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Polish speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Polish. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Polish at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Polish, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
