Beschreibung

First delivered as a series of celebrated lectures at Cambridge, Arthur Quiller-Couch's On the Art of Writing remains a vital guide for anyone passionate about the craft of words. Known affectionately as "Q," Quiller-Couch strips away the mystery of great writing with crisp, witty, and timeless advice. His famous exhortation to "murder your darlings"-to cut unnecessary or indulgent prose-continues to shape writers striving for clarity, power, and grace.
More than just technical guidance, this book is a lively invitation to see writing as a living, breathing art. With engaging examples from literary masters and practical encouragement to hone your own style, Quiller-Couch shows how great writing begins with clear thinking and careful expression.
Whether you are a student, a seasoned author, or simply a lover of language, On the Art of Writing offers essential tools to sharpen your voice, elevate your style, and ignite your passion for the written word. This enduring classic is a must-read for anyone ready to transform how they write-and how they think.
