Book Description

Sobre a escrita: A arte em memórias

Eleito pela Time Magazine um dos 100 melhores livros de não ficção de todos os tempos e vencedor dos prêmios BRAM STOKER e LOCUS na categoria Melhor Não Ficção, Sobre a escrita — A arte em memórias é uma obra extraordinária de um dos autores mais bem-sucedidos de todos os tempos, uma verdadeira aula sobre a arte das letras.
O livro também não deixa de lado as memórias e experiências do mestre do terror: desde a infância até o batalhado início da carreira literária, o alcoolismo, o acidente quase fatal em 1999 e como a vontade de escrever e de viver ajudou em sua recuperação. Com uma visão prática e interessante da profissão de escritor, incluindo as ferramentas básicas que todo aspirante a autor deve possuir, Stephen King baseia seus conselhos em memórias vívidas da infância e nas experiências do início da carreira: os livros e filmes que o influenciaram na juventude; seu processo criativo de transformar uma nova ideia em um novo livro; os acontecimentos que inspiraram seu primeiro sucesso: Carrie, a estranha.
Pela primeira vez, eis uma autobiografia íntima, um retrato da vida familiar de King. E, junto a tudo isso, o autor oferece uma aula incrível sobre o ato de escrever, citando exemplos de suas próprias obras e de best-sellers da literatura para guiar seus aprendizes. Usando exemplos que vão de H. P. Lovecraft a Ernest Hemingway, de John Grisham a J. R. R. Tolkien, um dos maiores autores de todos os tempos ensina como aplicar suas ferramentas criativas para construir personagens e desenvolver tramas, bem como as melhores maneiras de entrar em contato com profissionais do mercado editorial. Ao mesmo tempo um álbum de memórias e uma aula apaixonante, Sobre a escrita irradia energia e emoção no assunto predileto de King: literatura. A leitura perfeita para fãs, escritores e qualquer um que goste de uma história bem-contada.
