blueyorkie 's review for:
Poetics
by Aristotle
After taking the plunge (it's still nothing to say that we are about to read an author of about 300 BC), I am in the company of Aristotle. My first impression was, "Actually, it's not as bad as I imagined."
Indeed, some terms remain out of reach, but they should not fool us. Please read the text as one would read a foreign language, passing over incomprehensible words to grasp the essence of the text.
This little work is interesting, with sixty pages of text and four pages of notes. We learn how to produce such an effect on the reader (or the spectator), arouse such emotion, and arrange the facts between them. Even today, writers are inspired by Aristotle to write their stories. I understand why today.
