It is indispensable for every story writer, critic, or lover of narrative art, as it puts on the analysis morgue details of narrative structure, narrative language, characters, and heroes.The importance of the book also comes from the fact that its author, Foster, is a novelist, critic, and philosopher, distinguished by his quick wit, the beauty and lightness of his style, his depth, and the breadth of his horizons. Many critics considered him the last writer of a school in England whose traditions were built on the basis of intellectual freedom, enthusiasm for art, and a deep respect for human relations.Foster published his first novel, "Where Angels Don''t Appear" in 1905, followed by "Howard''s End" in 1910 and "The Road to India" in 1924, and "The Pillars of the Story" was published in 1927.
