{"product_id":"b0gx2zq6c1","title":"Poetics (Dover Thrift Editions: Philosophy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the most influential books in Western civilization, Aristotle's Poetics is really a treatise on fine art. In it are mentioned not only epic and dithyrambic poetry, but tragedy, comedy, and flute and lyre playing. Aristotle's conception of tragedy, i.e. the depiction of a heroic action that arouses pity and fear in the spectators and brings about a catharsis of those emotions, has helped perpetuate the Greek ideal of drama to the present day. Similarly, his dictums concerning unity of time and place, the necessity for a play to have a beginning, middle, and end, the idea of the tragic flaw and other concepts have had enormous influence down through the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\n Throughout the work, Aristotle reveals not only a great intellect analyzing the nature of poetry, music, and drama, but also a down-to-earth understanding of the practical problems facing the poet and playwright. Now, in this inexpensive edition of the Poetics , readers can enjoy the seminal insights of one of the greatest minds in human history as he sets about laying the foundations of critical thought about the arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54063053308267,"sku":"YSL8452","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1674\/0203\/files\/81p6ZeTPn5L._SY1500.jpg?v=1791960215","url":"https:\/\/www.booktavero.com\/products\/b0gx2zq6c1","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
