  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.

  The Moment and Other Essays

  'The moment was all; the moment was enough.'
  
  Published after Woolf's death by her husband, Leonard, The Moment and Other Essays offers twenty-nine short pieces of the modernist icon's stunning non-fiction, shrewdly exploring the meaning of art, literature and everyday life.
  
  Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, 'The Moment', she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive. In other works, she paints considered portraits of writers such as Turgenev and Thoreau – an affectionate testament to their life and work. Written with her trademark style – contemplative, deeply personal and in places experimental – Woolf invites her readers to find the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
  Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
