Fundamental para todos los interesados en la creación literaria, y concretamente en la redacción de un guion, este libro de Robert McKee es una vigorosa punta de lanza cuando el aspirante a guionista no sabe por dónde comenzar en los intrínsecos caminos para crear historias y personajes. Mckee escribe sobre los engranajes que mueven una historia, ejemplifica con guiones clásicos sus lecciones, e incluso sugiere algunos ejercicios para que el lector articule una historia en 3 actos. Además de funcionar como un manual para la creación, el texto ayuda al análisis del guion de cada película visionada, enriqueciendo la experiencia. Gurú de guionistas y artistas audiovisuales, el autor desmenuza las características de los géneros cinematográficos, redacta sobre la ambientación y construcción de escenas, definiendo desde las primeras páginas conceptos muy básicos del guionismo, lo que vuelve al libro digerible, placentero y de segura consulta recurrente en el futuro.

"Stories are equipment for living." - Kenneth Burke
Dedicatoria

I dedicate this book to the happy memory of my parents who, in their very different ways, taught me the love of story.
When I was first learning to read, but not always behaving appropriately, my father introduced me to the fables of Aesop in the hope that these ancient cautionary tales might improve my deportment. Each evening, after working my way through the likes of "The Fox and the Grapes," he would nod and ask, "And what does this story mean to you, Robert?" As I stared at these texts and their handsome color illustrations, struggling to find my interpretations, I slowly came to realize that stories mean much more than words and pretty pictures. Later, before entering the university, I deduced that the best possible life includes as many rounds of golf as possible, and therefore, I would become a dentist. "Dentist?!" my mother laughed. "You can't be serious. What happens when they cure all teeth problems? Where will dentists be then? No, Bobby, People will always need entertainment. I'm looking out for your future. You're going into show business."

Intro: Storyis about principles, not rules. A rule says, "You must do it this way." A principle says, "This works ... and has through all remembered time." The difference is crucial. Your work needn't be modeled after the "well-made" play; rather, it must be well made within the principles that shape our art. Anxious, inexperienced writers obey rules. Rebellious, unschooled writers break rules. Artists master the form.
1: The decline of story Imagine, in one global day, the pages of prose turned, plays performed, films screened, the unending stream of television comedy and drama, twenty-four-hour print and broadcast news, bedtime tales told to children, barroom bragging, back-fence Internet gossip, humankind's insatiable appetite for stories...
