具体描述

Lajos Egri examines a play from the inside out, starting with the heart of any drama: its characters. For it is people - their private natures and their inter-relationships - that move a story and give it life. All good dramatic writing depends upon an understanding of human motives. Why do people act as they do? What forces transform a coward into a hero, a hero into a coward? What is it that Romeo does early in Shakespeare's play that makes his later suicide seem inevitable? Why must Nora leave her husband at the end of A Doll's House? These are a few of the fascinating problems which Egri analyzes. He shows how it is essential for the author to have a basic premise - a thesis, demonstrated in terms of human behaviour - and to develop his dramatic conflict on the basis of that behaviour. Premise, character, conflict: this is Egri's ABC. His book is a direct, jargon-free approach to the problem of achieving truth in a literary creation.

知北游： 本书手把手地教你如何写出好的剧本，但是它表达的是写好剧本的充分非必要条件，意即，即使你不遵守其中的若干条规则，一样也可能写出好的，甚至是更好的剧本。 作者将剧本归为了三个要素，分别是前提、人物与冲突，重要性依次递减。作者认为，情节（冲突）在...

方法都懂，依然写不出来Play writing的作业_( :3 」∠)_

The best writing book there is, be it playwriting, screenwriting, or novel-writing. Packed with truths I haven't got a hold on.

对个人而言点出戏剧冲突核心所在的一本书。

The best writing book there is, be it playwriting, screenwriting, or novel-writing. Packed with truths I haven't got a hold on.

我就喜欢这种作者说什么话都有理有据不瞎编的书。如果剧作，无论是戏剧，电影还是小说，只能推荐一本书的话，那我就推荐这本。挖到根里了。
