Amid the hundreds of "how-to" books that have appeared in recent years, there have been very few which attempted to analyze the mysteries of play-construction. This book does that - and its principles are so valid that they apply equally well to the short story, novel and screenplay. Lajos Egri examines a story from the inside out, starting with the heart of any drama: its characters.
Spark your imagination with thousands of plot-driving conflict situations, each suggesting multiple story possibilities. With Storybase you'll achieve focused brainstorming by giving archetypal form to ideas and revealing primal elements of story.

I'm continually grateful for your course [Storytelling: How To Write Stories That Will Grab And Hold Your Audience] and what I learned. I find that I'm more critical...wanting to change or re-write books and films I experience...an interesting exercise in itself.
