John Ruskin
The King of the Golden River
Paperback
(Book Jungle April 22, 2010)
John Ruskin was born in England in 1819. He was a critic of art, architecture and society. He was a Victorian sage and gifted painter. His goal with his writings was to cause widespread cultural and social change. This combination of the religious intensity of the Evangelical Revival and the artistic excitement of English Romantic painting laid the foundations of Ruskin's later views. The Encyclopedia Britannica sums up Ruskin as follows. "Ruskin has gradually been rediscovered. His formative importance as a thinker about ecology, about the conservation of buildings and environments, about Romantic painting, about art education, and about the human cost of the mechanization of work became steadily more obvious. The outstanding quality of his own drawings and watercolors (modestly treated in his lifetime as working notes or amateur sketches) was increasingly acknowledged, as was his role as a stimulus to the flowering of British painting, architecture, and decorative art in the second half of the 19th century." The King of the Golden River is a delightful fairy tale told with all Ruskin's charm of style. Once upon a time, Gluck, who lives with his two rich and greedy brothers, meets an odd little man and goes on an expedition to a strange and wonderful land. When his evil brothers try to follow, they meet a tragic fate.
