The Stones of Venice (Penguin Classic History S.) [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

In a more leisured age, John Ruskin's magnificent opus was once read by all who visited Venice and by many who never made the pilgrimage. Now, few have time to read the half-million words that he wrote on the most magnificent maritime city in the world. This edition, expertly and sensitively edited by J G Links, puts this fascinating book within the reach of those with limited resources of time. Much that was superfluous has been omitted; what is left is the essence of a now most readable book. It is a book for the lover of architecture, the lover of Venice, the lover of lost causes - but, perhaps above all, for the lover of fine writing.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was one of the most influential art critics of the nineteenth century.
