There's no denying the significance of literary devices when conveying a story. They may make the author's tale more comprehensible and engaging by emphasising key phrases, evoking certain emotions, and providing more context. One may improve story telling skills by using these literary tools. We can identify, recognise, interpret, and/or evaluate any element of literature or any one piece as a literary device. Some literary devices include both aspects of literature and literary strategies. Literary tactics are the linguistic structures that an author utilises to express an idea. In most cases, a literary method is used by an author using the single word or phrase, or a small cluster of words or phrases, at a specific location in the text. Unlike components of literature, literary strategies need not be included in every piece of writing. All literary techniques have one thing in common: they make the reader think about the world in new ways by pointing out or exploring connections between various elements. The use of comparison as a linking mechanism is widespread in literature. Metaphors and similes, the two most common forms of analogy, will be introduced throughout the book. Putting two items side by side is an example of a metaphor. Each literary device deserves its own dedicated discussion and set of illustrative texts. This is a book devoted to the most often used literary devices in both poetry and prose

The Elephant (1957) is Slawomir Mrozek's award-winning collection of hilarious and unnerving short stories, satirising life in Poland under a totalitarian regime. The family of a wealthy lawyer keep a 'tamed progressive' as a pet; a zoo saves money for the workers by fashioning their elephant from rubber; a swan is dismissed from the municipal park for public drunkenness; and under the Writers' Association, literary critics are banished to the salt mines. In these tales of bureaucrats, officials and artists, Mrozek conjures perfectly a life of imagined crimes and absurd authority.
