 'An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good
metaphor' - Robert Frost. 'It is metaphor above all else that gives
clearness, charm and distinction to the style' - Aristotle. Throughout
history, great minds have demonstrated a special ability to
ingeniously and creatively find a relationship between things that
initially seem quite alien to each other. This talent was recognised as
early as 2500 years ago by Aristotle. Metaphors may be the most
versatile tool in the toolbox of a person who is trying to express a
powerful idea. In this book, linguistic specialist Grothe discusses the
use of metaphor in a wide variety of life settings. He presents
metaphors in life altering situations; about the human condition; in
wit and humor; insults and criticism; relationships; love; marriage;
sex; stages and ages of life; stage and screen; politics; sports; and,
the literary life.
