This guide sets a fresh approach to the writing of riveting prose; an approach that isn't found in any of the traditional books published by theorists, successful and unsuccessful writers, as well as writers' workshops and writers' conferences. So, don't—for a minute—expect a "How to" traditional guide to writing prose. You won't find the quaint ideas and easy classes that theorists have...

Voltaire wrote 50 plays, dozens of treatises on science, politics and philosophy. He was also a historian, penning several books of history on the Russian Empire and the French Parliament. He also had the itch to write poetry. He left a voluminous correspondence of about 20,000 letters to friends and other correspondents. A veritable literary monster.

While volumes of criticism and book reviews fill library shelves on The Great Gatsby, nowhere have I read any allusions to the fact that the key players in the story are of low morals and intelligence—or to be charitable: mediocre. Daisy Buchanan is weak and of low moral standards, yet nowhere do I see that this character is "slow." Yet there's abundant evidence that the narrator intended to...

Scholars often write about Athens being the cradle of justice and democracy, about its embellishment, the magnificent temples, public buildings, sculptures, exquisite pottery, and above all the drama, literature, rhetoric, and philosophy that flourished in Classical Greece; but scarce are the commentaries on the soul of the Golden Greeks. Thus, in his funeral oration, Pericles says: "I wish...

Many are the philosophers who have proposed ideas, explanations, and solutions to the riddles of the universe. Few are the ones who have left us definitive answers. I have chosen six philosophers because their ideas are so daring and well argued that remain unrefuted despite the attempts by lesser luminaries of philosophy. Given the resonant and authoritative voices of Descartes, Spinoza, Kant...
