"What is poetry, how many kinds of it are there, and what are their specific effects?"

Aristotle's Poetics is the most influential book on poetry ever written. A founding text of European aesthetics and literary criticism, it has shaped much of our modern understanding of the creation and impact of imaginative writing, including poetry, drama, and fiction. This brief volume brims with Aristotle's timeless insights into such topics as the nature of tragedy and plot-a veritable gold mine for writers and anyone with a serious interest in literature.

Moreover, this volume boasts a marvelous new translation by our greatest living historian of philosophy, Anthony Kenny, who also provides an illuminating introduction to this classic work. Kenny sheds light on the philosophical underpinnings of Aristotle's literary criticism and he illuminates the ideas about poetry, drama, and tragedy that have influenced writers and dramatists ever since. Kenny also includes excerpts from key responses to Aristotle, ranging from Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry and Shelley's Defense of Poetry, to Dorothy L. Sayers' Aristotle on Detective Fiction.

The book also features helpful notes, a glossary of key terms, an index, a useful bibliography, and a chronology of Aristotle's life.

Misleading
Size: Small, Color: Brown
This is a very horrible material and poorly made suit, I have never bought anything this bad in amazon before, the crazy thing is that I returned this thing to get a refund and they shipped back the exact same garbage back to me. I clearly do not like anything about it, this is a misleading advert

Better quality and even better price
Size: One Size, Color: Cognac (Hundson)
The Timberland leather wallet has a classic look and feels high quality. The leather is soft but sturdy and breaks in nicely with use. It has plenty of card slots and room for cash without being too bulky. The stitching feels durable and built to last. Best of all, the price here was more affordable than buying directly from Timberland, making it an even better value.

Great high quality wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Great wallet! Gifted to my boyfriend and he loves it. It has a nice leather and looks fantastic. It took some time like any leather to stretch out and fold nicer. Once worn into it has a nice slim fit! Only complaint is there is one spot you can’t put a card because it won’t fold.
