The Elements of Eloquence: Secrets of the Perfect Turn of Phrase - Mark Forsyth
Shared by:anansisan

Format: MP3
Bitrate: 64 Kbps
From classic poetry to pop lyrics, from Charles Dickens to Dolly Parton, even from Jesus to James Bond, Mark Forsyth explains the secrets that make a phrase—such as “O Captain! My Captain!” or “To be or not to be”—memorable.
In his inimitably entertaining and wonderfully witty style, he takes apart famous phrases and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare or quip like Oscar Wilde. Whether you’re aiming to achieve literary immortality or just hoping to deliver the perfect one-liner, The Elements of Eloquence proves that you don’t need to have anything important to say—you simply need to say it well.
In an age unhealthily obsessed with the power of substance, this is a book that highlights the importance of style.

Thank you for this wonderful upload and all the others.
This isn’t read by Simon Shepherd (the British version) as is stated in the intro, but by Don Hagen (the American version). If by any chance you have and could share the Shepherd version, I and the other users would highly appreciate. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the upload. But as mentioned by others, this is not the Simon Shepherd version. If someone could upload that one, it would be highly appreciated
