## Description

PENGUIN Into The Woods: How Stories Work and Why We Tell Them : Yorke, John: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Great book ; but actually amalgamated from different old concepts on storytelling and screen play writing, put together. But, very useful & smart.
Review: Basi molto chiare sulla sceneggiatura, strutturate in maniera sintetica e utile. In inglese, ma non guasta anche per migliorare la propria terminologia tecnica nell'ambito specifico.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***H on 4 May 2025*

This is not your average how-to-write-a-story book, as it goes much deeper into the matter. Even though this book is mainly for screenwriters, as a novelist, I got many valuable insights into plot structure, characters and the reasons why I love to write. If you are open to a deeper dive into the function and psychology behind stories, you will find this book a useful source of inspiration. If you are looking for a simple step by step guide on screenwriting instead, you can skip this book.
