What are some of the difference between modern books and ancient books?

Question

not about the vocabulary,but about how they told the story and the structure

Answer 1

Ancients rarely used prose to tell a story. Written stories were in poetic and theatrical forms. Only recently, a couple of hundred years now, has prose been widely used to tell stories. Intellectual or scholarly manuscripts dominated ancient literature, ever in pursuit of subjective clarity in human thinking, and subjective knowledge related to human behavior and world events, mostly history. Also, public records were dominate at times. Religious, or, subjective dogma, was also a thread throughout. The recently discovered fabulous Timbuktu manuscripts reveal the same trends.

Answer 2

Well one thing that comes to mind is that many ancient stories were told in Verse or poetic forms.....

Answer 3

Ancient people did not write books for dummies.

Answer 4

Ancient books are more kind of like eye witness viewpoints. And Modern are more opinionated. (Meaning they add their meaning or interpretation, making it more simplified.)

Answer 5

Many different fonts.
