Why Write? Edmundson Mark)Pevná vazba)
From one of America's great professors, author of Why Teach? Why write, when the world wants to be informed, not enlightened; to be entertained, not inspired? and Why Read?--an inspiring exploration of the importance of writing well, for creators, educators, students, and anyone who writes.Why write?Why write when it sometimes feels that so few people really read--read as if their lives might be changed by what they're reading?
So why?Because writing, as celebrated professor Mark Edmundson explains, is one of the greatest human goods. Writing is backbreaking, mindbreaking, lonely work. Real writing can do what critic R. P.
Blackmur said it could: add to the stock of available reality. Writing teaches us to think; it can bring our minds to birth. And once we're at home with words, there are few more pleasurable human activities than writing.
