GWYNNE’S GRAMMAR: THE ULTIMATE INTRODUCTION TO GRAMMAR AND THE WRITING OF GOOD ENGLISH. INCORPORATING ALSO STRUNK’S GUIDE TO STYLE
Book ID/图书代码： 11340013B61921
English Summary/英文概要： ’Grammar is the science of using words rightly, leading to thinking rightly, leading to deciding rightly, without which - as both common sense and experience show - happiness is impossible. Therefore: happiness depends at least partly on good grammar.’
So writes Mr Gwynne in his small, but perfectly formed new book. Mr Gwynne believes passionately that we must regain our knowledge of the lost science of grammar before it is too late.
Formerly a successful businessman, Mr Gwynne has for many years been teaching and tutoring just about every sort of subject to just about every sort of pupil in just about every sort of circumstance. His teaching methods are very much the traditional, common-sense ones, refined over the centuries, that were almost everywhere until they were abolished in the 1960s.
Being disappointed in the standards of grammar he encountered in his pupils, Mr Gwynne, over time, wrote this wonderful, succinct and yet comprehensive little book - because nothing quite as suitable already existed.
This edition also includes Strunk’s classic guide to style, explaining how to write well and the main pitfalls to avoid.
Beautifully designed, easy to understand and a joy to read, Gwynne’s Grammar may be the best little book you will ever have in your life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “所谓语法就是一门关于正确地使用词语、引导人们正确地思考并指引其做出正确决断的一门科学。根据常识以及实践，如果没有语法，那么人类的快乐无从而来。因此可判断：正确使用语法在某种程度上影响着生活中的乐趣。
格纹先生在他小而精致的全新作品中写到：我坚定地相信着，我们必须乘着为时未晚，去重获关于语法这门逐渐遗失的科学的相关知识。
格温先生曾是一名成功的商人，他拥有多年教学经验，曾在各种各样的黄金钟教授过各门学科，并曾指导各类学生。他的授课方式属于传统的常识教育，这一教学方法经过数个世纪的完善与提炼，曾遍及各处，直至20世纪60年代才被废除。
格温先生在与学生接触的过程中发现，大家对于语法的标准极不统一，他感到十分失望，因此经过一段时间的努力，他创作出了这本丰富、简练同时内容宽泛的语法书---因为迄今为止还没有出现过非常合适的语法类书籍。
本书的这一版本还囊括了斯特伦克对于问题的经典指导，向读者解释了如何写出得体的文章并避开一些主要的陷阱。
《格温语法》全书经过精心设计，不仅简明易懂，还趣味十足，这本小书一定会成为你生命中不可或缺的好书之一。（DC）

About the Author/作者介绍： 70余岁的NM??格温现居住在爱尔兰威克斯福德郡，他曾是英格兰和澳大利亚一名成功的商人。20世纪80年代退休后，他慢慢重拾教育事业，起初只是个人行为，但很快的他发现自己在教育事业上有着清晰的规划，而他的传统教学法，那个经过了数个世纪的完善却在20世纪60年代被废除的教学法一夕之间，由于全世界范围内的教学革命而再度成为了普及的教育方法。他在各种场所讲授，包括教室、演讲大厅。甚至是如今流行的私人环境；同时他教授的课程也是包罗万象：英语、拉丁语、希腊语、法语、德语、数学、历史、哲学经典、药学、音乐，以及“如何开始你的经商之旅”。如今格温已享誉全球，他经常在全球各地授课，由于互联网和skype，他如今常常发现自己会在同一天里出现在不同的地点，给印度、欧洲以及美国西部的儿童以及成人们上课。Now living in County Wexford, Ireland, and in his 70s, N M Gwynne was formerly a successful businessman in London and Australia. On retirement in the 1980s, he gradually took up teaching, at first privately. He soon found that he had a clear vocation for teaching, and that his traditional methods, universal up to the 1960s and refined and perfected century after century up till then, had suddenly become all but unique because of the revolution in teaching that had taken place worldwide at around that time. Subjects he has been teaching - in classrooms, in lecture halls, and nowadays mostly privately - include English, Latin, Greek, French, German, mathematics, history, classical philosophy, natural medicine, the elements of music, and "How to start up and run your own business". Now with an international word-of-mouth reputation, Mr Gwynne has been flown around the world in order to teach his pupils. And thanks to the internet and Skype, he has sometimes found himself, at different times in a single day, teaching children and adults as far apart as in India, in Europe and in western USA.
