Recensione:

Ruskin's finest work... It mixes art, architecture and morality to create a sublime history of the Venetian republic. --Tristram Hunt, The Week

Monumental... the great and good J.G.Links --Bernard Levin, The Times

L'autore:

John Ruskin (1819-1900), theorist and painter, was the greatest
and most influential critic of the nineteenth century. His writings on art,
architecture and social issues fill forty volumes, and eventually he
collapsed through overwork.

J. G. Links (1904-1997) author of Venice for Pleasure, surely the second
greatest guidebook ever written after the Stones, was, together with his
wife Mary Lutyens, an acknowledged authority on Ruskin and his circle. The
choice of texts for this edition was made after a lifetime's immersion in
the work of the master.
