Using examples from a vast range of writings, Mark Forsyth presents an amusing and wonderfully erudite guide to the â€˜formulas, flowers and figuresâ€ of rhetoric. For each of 39 figures, he explains some that are well-known â€“ hyperbole, paradox, rhetorical questions â€“ and other, less familiar strategies that work their magic behind the scenes, such as diacope in the immortal phrase â€˜Bond. James Bond.â€
