Poetics

In this Penguin Classic, Nicholas Khan lends his voice to Aristotle's "Poetics," a seminal work in Western literary criticism. Accompanied by an introduction from Malcolm Heath, the audiobook explores Aristotle's insights into classical Greek tragedy, examining the key elements of plot, character, and language that evoke emotions like pity and fear. Through analysis of plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, Aristotle introduces foundational concepts such as mimesis, hamartia, and katharsis, influencing drama theory for centuries.
