This book is often hyped as the bible of screenwriting, but I would take it a step further and call it the definitive go-to for all storytelling.

AuthorLajos Egri
Among the many "how-to" playwriting books that have appeared over the years, there have been few that attempt to analyze the mysteries of play construction. Lajos Egri's classic, The Art of Dramatic Writing, does just that, with instruction that can be applied equally well to a short story, novel,...
