这是亚里士多德《诗学全集》的一个引人入胜、可读性很强的新译本，也是对写作和理解故事艺术的第一个也是最好的介绍
亚里士多德的《诗学》是有史以来为小说、短篇小说、戏剧、剧本或非小说类作家和读者撰写的最重要的一本书。亚里士多德是第一个发现情节、性格、观众感知、悲剧快乐和其他几十个优秀故事关键点的人。尽管《诗学》是2000多年前写的，但对于任何想要学习如何写一个引人入胜的故事，或者理解这些故事如何运作并实现其心理效果的人来说，它仍然是必不可少的读物。然而，尽管《诗学》产生了各种影响，但它的阅读量太少，因为它以一种通常难以理解的形式落到我们的身上，即使是最好的翻译也更多地面向专家，而不是只想理解亚里士多德深刻而实用的见解的普通读者。在《如何讲故事》一书中，菲利普·弗里曼（Philip Freeman）介绍了迄今为止最具可读性的诗学翻译，使这本不可或缺的手册比以往任何时候都更容易阅读、更引人入胜、更有用。
除了引人入胜且可靠的翻译、对每一章节的评论以及封面上的希腊原文外，本版《诗学》还提供了独特的要点、章节标题和章节编号，帮助读者通过亚里士多德对写作和阅读故事艺术的无与伦比的介绍进行指导。
How to Tell a Story: An Ancient Guide to the Art of Storytelling for Writers and Readers
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.
