Publisher's Synopsis
The Storm Cloud of the Nineteenth Century is a book written by John Ruskin, which includes two lectures delivered at the London Institution in February 1884. The lectures focus on the political and social issues of the time, particularly the rise of industrialization and its impact on the environment and society. Ruskin argues that the unchecked pursuit of wealth and progress is causing harm to both the natural world and human well-being. He calls for a return to traditional values and a more holistic approach to life, in which people prioritize the health of the planet and the happiness of all individuals over the pursuit of material gain. The book provides a thought-provoking critique of modern society and its values, and offers a powerful call to action for readers to reconsider their priorities and work towards a more sustainable and just future.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1884 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
