The Stones Of Venice

Discover the enchanting city of Venice through the eyes of John Ruskin in The Stones of Venice. Considered one of Victorian England's greatest writers on art and literature, Ruskin's love for the city is beautifully expressed in this book. Included is his famous essay "The Nature of Gothic," as well as a descriptive tour of Venice before its postwar restoration. Let Ruskin transport you back to 1851 and experience the city he deemed a "Paradise of Cities."
