La aventura nos suele llevar, como muchas veces la pasión, a explorar territorios de los que no estamos seguros de conocer los mecanismos y los misterios que los gobiernan. Y más aún cuando el aventurero se adentra a menudo incautamente en el fascinante pero resbaladizo terreno de la creacion literaria. ¿Que significa, pues, escribir novelas? ¿Que hay que saber antes de emprender el tortuoso periplo que supone la redaccion de un texto narrativo? En este libro se desvelan algunas de las reglas y mañas que estan detras del oficio de escribir. Las conversaciones que lo componen se podrian resumir en que la novela tiene una capacidad casi infinita de asimilar todo lo que pueda asimilar, de fagocitar, segun convenga, la poesia, la filosofia, el periodismo, el ensayo, la historia y que en el entregarse a la aventura de escribirlas hay una razon moral, porque al embarcarse en la aventura de escribir tenemos la obligacion de ser equidistantes, sin olvidar, por otro lado, que en la vida tarde o temprano tienes que dejar de serlo.

"Make every word tell."William Strunk Jr. had one mission: to kill bad writing at the source. The original Elements of Style is a concentrate of linguistic discipline. It does not suggest; it commands. Strunk provides eight elementary rules of usage and ten principles of composition that remain the "Golden Rules" for anyone who wants to be understood. From his fierce defense of the active voice to his legendary insistence on brevity, Strunks original text is a masterclass in literary efficiency. This is the book that taught a generation of writers that to be "vigorous," one must be "concise."The Rules of Usage: Strunk tackles the mechanics of English with surgical precision. He settles the placement of the possessive apostrophe, the use of the serial comma, and the proper handling of the dash. These are the non-negotiables of the English language, presented in a format that can be memorized in a single afternoon.The Philosophy of the Active Voice: "The active voice is usually more direct and vigorous than the passive." This single observation revolutionized modern communication. Strunk demonstrates how shifting the subject of a sentence can breathe life into stagnant text, turning a dull report into a compelling narrative.Why It Is a Timeless Tool: The 1918 original is preferred by purists for its brevity and its unapologetic "tough love" approach to the English language. It is the perfect desk companion for students, editors, and professionals who want to strip away the fluff and communicate with maximum impact.Master the architecture of the sentence.

On the Art of Writing distills a series of Cambridge lectures in the early twentieth century into a lucid manifesto for clear, vigorous English prose. Quiller-Couch moves with urbane ease from classical rhetoric to the King James Bible and Swift, illustrating how cadence, vocabulary, and structure carry ethical responsibility as well as aesthetic force. He attacks cant and jargon, counsels economy without anemia, and champions reading as apprenticeship to style. Memorable dictaoften summarized as the need to murder ones darlingsare grounded in close examples, historical anecdotes, and a confident, humane belief in the civilizing work of sentences. Known to generations as Q, Arthur Quiller-Couch was a Cornish novelist, journalist, and the influential Cambridge Professor of English Literature, as well as editor of The Oxford Book of English Verse. His breadth as anthologist and practitioner, and his commitment to public letters, shaped these lectures: practical, historically informed, and animated by a teachers ear for cadence and clarity. This book rewards writers, teachers, and readers seeking disciplined grace on the page. Read it for its examples, its humane standards, and its unfashionable but enduring claim that style is characterand that careful prose remains an ethical craft as much as an art.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
