Sinopsis
I A young dog, inexperienced, sadly lacking in even primary education, ambles and frisks along the footpath of Fulham Road, near the mysterious gates of a Marist convent. He is a large puppy, on the way to be a dog of much dignity, but at present he has little to recommend him but that gawky elegance, and that bounding gratitude for the gift of life, which distinguish the normal puppy. He is an ignorant fool. He might have entered the convent of nuns and had a fine time, but instead he steps off the pavement into the road, the road being a vast and interesting continent imperfectly explored. His confidence in his nose, in his agility, and in the goodness of God is touching, absolutely painful to witness. He glances casually at a huge, towering vermilion construction that is 3

Excerpt from The Author's Craft
A street accident is now in being, and a crowd gathers with calm joy and stares, pas sive and determined. The puppy offers no sign whatever; just lies in the road. Then a boy, destined probably to a great future by reason of his singular faculty of initiative, goes to the puppy and carries him by the scruff of the neck, to the shelter of the gutter. Relin quished by the boy, the lithe puppy falls into an easy horizontal attitude, and seems bent upon repose. The boy lifts the puppy's head to examine it, and the head drops back wearily. The puppy is dead. No cry, no blood, no disfigurement! Even no perceptible jolt of the wheel as it climbed over the obstacle of the puppy's body! A wonderfully clean and per feet accident!

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book on craft and technique, from the novelist and playwright Arnold Bennett, offers an engaging guide to the genesis of writing from the quirks of the imagination through to the finished result. Bennett's foundational premise is that writing in its various forms is rooted in keen observation of humanity and the world around us. By seeing and experiencing life directly, the writer can then transmit their vision through storytelling. Broken into three parts, Bennett examines the unique demands and advantages of novels, plays, and their creators, using examples from history and contemporary works to illustrate his points. Tackling the practicalities of writing itself, the author underscores the importance of technique in a writer's ability to create compelling work, though this technique should always serve the story and never become its focus. Providing insight into the minds, methods, and motivations of writers, this book is an insightful and engaging guide for those interested in writing or the art of storytelling itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781451005769_0
