Finnish Kertomisen taito $aPorvoo :$bWSOY, $c1907. Tuula Temonen "Kertomisen taito by Jakob Wassermann" is a philosophical dialogue written in the early 1900s, focusing on literary theory and the art of storytelling. The book, presented as a conversation primarily between a young aspiring writer and an older, experienced mentor, explores the nature, purpose, and techniques of narrative art. It is a reflective discourse on writing, creative motivation, and the aesthetic values that underpin lasting literature. The content follows the interaction between the two characters as the older mentor challenges and critiques the young writer's understanding of storytelling. Their discussion delves into stylistic elements, the relationship between form and substance, the significance of crafting believable and vital characters, and the balance between individual creative drive and the timeless laws of art. The later part of their dialogue examines the evolution of personal artistic vision, the struggles of success and recognition, and the tension between following rules and authentic expression. Ultimately, the book argues that true artistry comes from an inner compulsion for honest creation, informed by a deep understanding of human experience and the ever-unfinished quest for artistic truth.
