The Art Of Literature

The Art of Literature is a collection of essays written by the renowned German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In this book, Schopenhauer explores the nature of literature and its role in human life. He argues that literature is not just a form of entertainment, but a means of understanding the world and ourselves.Schopenhauer begins by discussing the different types of literature, including poetry, drama, and prose. He examines the characteristics of each form and explains how they can be used to convey different ideas and emotions. He also discusses the importance of style and language in literature, arguing that the use of language is essential in creating powerful and effective writing.Throughout the book, Schopenhauer provides examples of great literature and analyzes their themes and messages. He also discusses the role of the writer in society and the responsibility that comes with creating works of art.Overall, The Art of Literature is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the power and importance of literature in our lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or the arts in general.Every mediocre writer tries to mask his own natural style, because in his heart he knows the truth of what I am saying. He is thus forced, at the outset, to give up any attempt at being frank or naive--a privilege which is thereby reserved for superior minds, conscious of their own worth, and therefore sure of themselves. What I mean is that these everyday writers are absolutely unable to resolve upon writing just as they think; because they have a notion that, were they to do so, their work might possibly look very childish and simple.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
