Preface

Описание

A preface (/ˈprɛfɨs/ PREF-iss; adjectival form: "prefatory") or proem (/ˈproʊɛm/), is an introduction to a book or other literary work written by the work's author. An introductory essay written by a different person is a foreword and precedes an author's preface. The preface often closes with acknowledgments of those who assisted in the literary work.
A preface generally covers the story of how the book came into being, or how the idea for the book was developed; this is often followed by thanks and acknowledgments to people who were helpful to the author during the time of writing.
