Synopsis

This book explores a subject taught for centuries: rhetoric, the art of speaking and writing persuasively. The author's goal is to equip readers with communication tools that move others to action. Eloquence isn't merely a faculty, the author argues; rather, it is the result of developing one's natural talents with a body of rules. The author explains the foundations of the subject, including invention, disposition, and elocution. They explore the many ways to construct arguments, discuss methods for winning over an audience, and delve into the emotional side of rhetoric—how to move an audience to love, hate, anger, indignation, pity, hope, joy, or fear. This practical guide to rhetoric is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to become a more powerful speaker or writer.
