Nuova riedizione 2024 con divisione in capitoli.

All fiction is character-driven, according to William Bernhardt, despite what you might have heard elsewhere. If your characters don’t interest readers, even the most exciting plots will fail. “Action is character,” Aristotle wrote, but what does that mean, and how can you use that fundamental principle to create dynamic fiction that will captivate readers? This audiobook explains the relationship between character and plot, and how the perfect melding of the two produces a mesmerizing story.

"Non possiamo pensare di stare bene se ci dimentichiamo delle nostre radici, immerse nel buio della materia, nell'invisibile. Eppure trascorriamo la maggior parte della nostra esistenza prigionieri dell'esterno, identificati con i nostri problemi, i nostri pensieri, i nostri progetti, i nostri ricordi, il nostro modo di guardare il mondo e le nostre teorie sulla vita e su noi stessi. Ma allora, come possiamo fare per incontrare la nostra essenza originaria? La risposta a questa domanda è stata la stessa per tutte le tradizioni antiche: attraverso il digiuno."
