Essay-writing is an art of thinking about an issue, expressing one’s thoughts in words, and interpreting a particular topic as per one’s understanding of an issue. Essay-writing is something subjective because an essay reflects one’s response expressed objectively to an issue or a thought.

However, there are certain rules which regulate an objective, coherent, and systematic presentation of thoughts lucidly and succinctly. This book is a sincere endeavour with regard to guiding the readers on this apparently easy but difficult terrain. An entire reading and sincere practice of the rules laid down in this book will certainly help the readers a lot in getting ideas on a plethora of topics besides knowledge of stylistic features.

Aspirants preparing for examinations that require essays to be written and all those wanting an interesting as well as educational read on a variety of subjects will find the book greatly useful!
