Learn the basic techniques every successful playwright knows
Among the many "how-to" playwriting books that have appeared over the years, there have been few that attempt to analyze the mysteries of play construction. Lajos Egri's classic, The Art of Dramatic Writing, does just that, with instruction that can be applied equally well to a short story, novel, or screenplay.
Examining a play from the inside out, Egri starts with the heart of any drama: its characters. All good dramatic writing hinges on people and their relationships, which serve to move the story...

The Art of Dramatic Writing is a concise guide to all forms of creative writing, from premise to characters to plot.

Jedes literarische Werk steht und fällt mit der Glaubwürdigkeit seiner Figuren. Auf dieser Grundlage entwickelt Lajos Egri seine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung wie man starke Charaktere schafft und originelle Ideen gewinnt, die zu überzeugender Handlung führen.
