Now in its fifth reprint!

«Take something from everyday life, with no plot and no ending...» This and 98 other tips for young writers by Anton Chekhov have been selected by Piero Brunello (a Professor of Social History at the University of Venice) from the immense body of the Russian literary master's letters to his publisher, his brother, and his friends. These punctual, precise, illuminating suggestions - re-organized into thematic chapters - will be useful for students in creative writing courses as well as for published writers: on descriptions and dialogues, on names and characters, on what to tend to and what to avoid... never forgetting the primary aim of a writer's work: the search for truth in art.
