The Art of Writing Well
"The best book on the art of writing that I know is F. L. Lucas' Style". (Joseph Epstein, "New Criterion", June 2011). Lost for almost 40 years, "Style" has acquired the status of a legend. Loved by some of the greatest modern authors, and acclaimed by critics, this guide to stylish prose was written by a Cambridge don and veteran of Bletchley Park. Imbued with a lifetime of wit and wisdom, it retains its power today.
Writing powerfully and persuasively has never mattered so much - and "Style" is the perfect guide for the busy, the ambitious and the poetic.
Taking readers through the ten points of effective prose style, F. L. Lucas provides a tour of the best that has been written and said in any language. Wry, perceptive and filled with a colossal range of quotations and anecdotes, the book reads like a personal conversation on the art of writing well - with a master of the art.
