有史以來最具原創性、最實用、最鼓舞人心的戲劇寫作書！我們「如何」說故事？又「為什麼」要說故事？奠基於各編劇大師的基礎，深刻挖掘許多尚未被解答的說故事之謎！ 編劇、作家創作必讀之作，長據美國Amazon編劇、寫作暢銷書排行榜，指標性書評網Goodreads逾4,000位讀者熱烈回響！ 這不僅是一本教你「如何寫作」的書，它將帶領你探索所有敘事結構背後的基本原理，適用於電影、電視、戲劇或是小說創作。 約翰．約克於書中借鑒了許多編劇大師們從古至今流傳的絕妙理論，但他想探討的，並不是如何刻意使用所謂的寫作規範，而是思索並檢視敘事型態，探查它為什麼存在、以何種形式存在。 從古至今，故事是如何自然演變成三幕或五幕的形式？為什麼一個九歲的小孩，也能隨口說出一個結構完整的故事？為什麼人們總是持續地寫出架構相同的故事？ 本書將回答這些疑問－－故事都有一個型態，這個型態主導了所有故事的講述方式，可以追溯到文藝復興時期，甚至是文字記錄的起源。 人類和故事脫離不了關係，它幾乎就像呼吸一樣重要。從聚集在營火旁聽神話故事，到後電視時代大爆發的戲劇，故事主宰了人類的生活，所以我們理應試著去瞭解它。而這趟故事探索之旅的終點，不但能讓我們理解故事形成的基本結構，更重要的是，我們將知道這個型態為什麼存在，以及為什麼無需學習，人們便可以完全複製它。 故事是那麼地簡單，卻又如此複雜。 導讀 耿一偉　專文推薦 陳世杰專業推薦（按姓氏筆畫順序排列）編劇 王詞仰作家 吳子雲導演／編劇 杜政哲知名編劇講師 東默農導演／編劇 徐譽庭導演 / 葉天倫 好評推薦「熱愛寫故事嗎？你需要這本啟發靈感的書。約翰・約克以歡欣的熱情與猶如百科全書般的精確知識，層層剖析故事的結構，保證讓你帶著全新的靈感和動力回到書桌前。」——克里斯．奇布諾爾（Chris Chibnall），英格蘭編劇與製作人，作品包括《小鎮疑雲》（Broadchurch）、《小鎮疑雲》美國版（Gracepoint）、《火車大劫案》（The Great Train Robbery） 「精彩絕倫，字字珠璣並悉心解釋。」——蘇珊．希爾（Susan Hill），《黑衣女子》（The Woman In Black）作者

這裡是臺灣之音！This is Radio Taiwan International走過百年政權更迭、媒體管制，與傳播科技的演化不變的是透過電波傳遞自由訊息的初心H.E. Andrea Bowman 柏安卓女士 Ambassador, Embassy of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the R.O.C. (Taiwan) 駐台外交使節團團長　聖文森及格瑞那丁國大使中央研究院院士　朱敬一文化部長、知名作家　李遠（小野）作家、主持人　馬世芳前中央廣播電台董事長、知名作家、國家文藝獎得主　路平金鐘獎最佳主持人　溫士凱跨界聲音工作者　賈培德國家影視聽中心董事長　褚明仁聯聲推薦（按姓氏筆畫排列）這是數位鐵幕的時代卻也是短波廣播突破藩籬、迎來復興的時代近百年來，央廣從「自由中國之聲」到「臺灣之音」、從神祕機構到公共媒體，央廣的歷史，就是台灣向世界發聲的歷史。這本書是央廣獻給臺灣和世界的禮物。——Rti 央廣董事長•賴秀如二十一世紀的第一個二十年，數位科技快速發展，原先該是訊息快速流通，更能邁向同步的世界，卻在許多地域築起了難以跨越的數位管控高牆。此時，似乎式微的空中電波重新以超越阻隔的遠距傳播能力，成為傳播自由訊息的重要媒介。而即將邁向創臺百年的中央廣播電臺（Rti），正扮演著關鍵的角色。央廣的故事彷彿台灣歷史的縮影：殖民時期草創的硬體設備，在二戰與冷戰時期執行著不同當權者的任務，當國家邁向自由開放後，建立起自我風格與主體性，並透過與世界的交流，成為民主自由陣營中不可或缺的聲音。歷經戰爭與遷徙，族群融合與民主轉型，如今的央廣已成為國家對外重要的多語公共媒體，在跨越空間限制的陪伴下，有了來自世界各地的忠實聽友：如莫斯科聽友成為鄧麗君的粉絲；墨西哥偏鄉的小女孩發現家中的果樹就是節目介紹的龍眼樹。而央廣每年總會收到數量驚人的來信與收聽報告，甚至有熱情聽友從數千百公里外前來參與各地舉辦的聽友會活動。在媒體形式的不斷創新之下，廣播牽起的緣分卻綿長不斷，本書細數了中央廣播電臺邁向百年的歷程，更從主持人、聽友的角度講述廣播與人的連結，以及百年來透過空中交會所產生的真摯情感。
