Description:

Arthur Schopenhauer’s The Art of Literature is a lively, illuminating and brutally honest collection of essays on literary style and values, writers and critics, and the nature of genius. The volume is comprised of eight chapters: On Authorship, On Style, On the Study of Latin, On Men of Learning, On Thinking for Oneself, On Criticism, On Reputation and On Genius.

His thought-provoking arguments, caustic wit and accessible style make this a must for any aspiring writer. Duration - 13h 2m. Author - Arthur Schopenhauer. Narrator - Mark Meadows.
