Version abrégée en 1881 par John Ruskin (1819-1900) de son essai sur l'architecture vénitienne, à la fois guide subjectif de la ville et traité d'esthétique publié pour la première fois en 1851. Il tente de mettre en lumière à travers l'étude de détails les traces de Dieu, de l'art et des hommes.

The following Lectures are printed, as far as possible, just as they were delivered. Here and there a sentence which seemed obscure has been mended, and the passages which had not been previously written, have been, of course imperfectly, supplied from memory. But I am well assured that nothing of any substantial importance which was said in the lecture-room, is either omitted, or altered in its signification; with the exception only of a few sentences struck out from the notice of the works of Turner, in consequence of the impossibility of engraving the drawings by which they were illustrated, except at a cost which would have too much raised the price of the volume. Some elucidatory remarks have, however, been added at the close of the second and fourth Lectures, which I hope may be of more use than the passages which I was obliged to omit.

Excerpt from Les Pierres de Venise: Etudes Locales Pouvant Servir de Direction aux Voyageurs Sejournant a Venise Et a Verone Qu'est-ce donc que cet homme si populaire a la fois chez nos voisins du Sud et chez nos voisins du Nord, et de quel nom devons-nous l'appeler? Un archeologue? 4 Nen. Bien qu'il ait penetre, sur quelques points, plus avant que ses predecesseurs, dans l'histoire du Palais Ducal et qu'on lui doive l'idee du magistral ouvrage de Giambattista Lorenzi sur les Monuments pour servir a l'histoire du Palais Ducal depuis 1253 jusqu'a 1797, Ruskin n'etait, ni par son education, ni par sa methode, un archeologue. Un peintre? Pas davantage. S'il dessinait correctement, toujours avec finesse, parfois avec une entente de l'effet qui le rapproche inopinement de son ennemi Whistler, Ruskin ne produisit pas d'oeuvres picturales assez notoires pour qu'on puisse le classer parmi les professionnels. Un critique? Un historien? Non; il a laisse de cote presque tous les actes fameux de l'histoire de Venise. Sur tous ces points on a fait, depuis l'ni, des progres et son entreprise est a la fois trop vaste et trop incomplete au regard de l'erudition et de la critique modernes. Un seul nom convient a Ruskin et le definit. Ce fut un sourcier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

La Vallée merveilleuse appartenait tout entière à trois frères : Schwartz, Hans et Gluck. Le petit Gluck était bon, on ne peut plus différent de ses deux cruels aînés. Un soir d'orage, il ouvrit la porte à un étrange visiteur tout trempé cherchant refuge. C'est par cette rencontre insolite que le destin de la vallée bascula.

Le roi de la rivière d'or

Cominciando dagli ultimi è prima di tutto un grido in difesa della giustizia. Alle porte della Seconda Rivoluzione Industriale, di fronte alle masse di lavoratori e operai che si riversano nelle città, John Ruskin si propone di definire cosa sia la ricchezza nella convinzione che esistano virtù morali essenziali al suo raggiungimento e superiori alla tanto acclamata "legge di mercato". Lo fa in quattro saggi scritti nell'estate del 1860, un attacco senza mezzi termini all'economia politica del tempo. Una riflessione che ha segnato talmente il Mahatma Gandhi da fargli ritenere Cominciando dagli ultimi il testo che lo ha "catturato e spinto a cambiare vita". « Compra quando conviene? Va bene, ma cosa rende il mercato conveniente? Il carbone è economico se viene dalle assi del tuo tetto dopo un incendio e i mattoni hanno un buon prezzo nella tua zona dopo un terremoto [.]. Vendere al prezzo più alto? Sì, davvero, ma cosa rende il mercato vantaggioso? Oggi hai venduto il pane a un buon prezzo: l'hai venduto a un moribondo che ti ha dato la sua ultima moneta e che non avrà mai più bisogno di pane? ». Introduzione di Luigino Bruni.
