The most entertaining and instructive book ever written about comparing one thing to another. Ward Farnsworth provides an extraordinarily wide-ranging tour of the most eloquent metaphors, arranged them by theme, with historical and cultural backdrops that inspired their use. There are examples from novelists, playwrights, philosophers, and orators—along with Farnsworth's commentary on how and why they work to bring clarity and power in speech and in writing.
