Aristotle's Poetics
P**S
As if this needs reviewing...
It has been a long time since I studied Greek, and I can hardly comment on the accuracy of the translation except to say that for a modern reader or writer, this is readable, scholarly (very well footnoted) and presented in a legible, durable paperback.Mirabile dictu, some of his observations are archaic, sexist, or unduly academic. But anyone who wants to understand how stories work, and why we humans need to live through fiction, needs to have read this text.

good
Great condition and very good for use in class!
B**U
For scholars
This book is HEAVILY annotated! It's very off-putting. I can still read it but the comments written on every page are pretty distracting. Still, it's a book that needs a conversation around it and I can converse with the previous reader!

Said it was "very good" was actually in poor condition
Was advertised as "very good," got a library book instead still covered in some kind of plastic wrap, with library markings EVERYWHERE (a huge sticker showing the call number, multiple huge stamps throughout the book more than once).Also there was writing on almost every page. That isn't "very good" condition. .
