The King of the Golden River - Illustrated Edition

John Ruskin

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The King of the Golden River," John Ruskin crafts a richly imaginative fairy tale resonating with moral allegory, set within the picturesque backdrop of the Tyrol Alps. This purported children's story stands out in Ruskin's oeuvre, blending elements of fantasy and social commentary while employing a lyrical and ornate narrative style reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelites. The tale intertwines the theme of greed versus generosity, as it follows the journey of young Gluck who, with his kinder spirit, is pitted against his avaricious brothers in a quest for gold and redemption, ultimately culminating in a poignant critique of materialism. Ruskin, a prominent Victorian art critic, social thinker, and philanthropist, infused his works with deep reflections on nature, society, and ethics. His profound appreciation for natural beauty, combined with a passionate critique of industrialization, undoubtedly shaped the moral foundations of "The King of the Golden River." By drawing from his experiences in the art world and his commitment to social reform, Ruskin encapsulates essential human values in this enchanting tale. This richly illustrated book serves as a profound yet accessible introduction to Ruskin's philosophy and aesthetic ideals, making it a must-read for both young audiences and adults seeking escapism through meaningful literature. His masterful synthesis of moral wisdom imbued in a whimsical narrative will leave readers reflecting on their values long after the last page.

Fall of the Robots

Lee Bacon

Robots and humans are finally at peace … for now! 
 
It’s been a few months now since XR_935 met Emma, a human girl who wasn’t supposed to exist. Robots thought they’d eliminated the humans, but some have survived all these years. Now, robots and humans live side by side, and the world is much better for it. They’ve formed a new society, living together as equals. 
 
Even if XR doesn’t always understand humans, it is impressed by their creativity and ingenuity—especially considering all the terrible things that robots did to humans many years ago. But some humans are not so quick to forgive. A group known as the Machine Breakers has emerged. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed every robot on earth—and any human who stands in their way. 
 
Can XR and Emma stop them? Or could this be the end of the robots—and the world as they know it?
