Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Four Great Teachers: John Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Robert Browning John Ruskin is the son of a London merchant, and was born in the year 1819. He thus writes of himself: "Who am I, that I should challenge you," the squires of England, "do you ask?" My mother was a sailor´s daughter, and, please you, one of my aunts was a baker´s wife, the other a tanner´s; and I don´t know much more about my family, except that there used to be a greengrocer of the name in a small shop near the Crystal Palace. Something of my early and vulgar life, if it interests you, I will tell in next ´Fors´; in this one it is indeed my business, poor gipsy herald as I am, to bring you such a challenge, though you should hunt and hang me for it." Mr. Ruskin´s father came over the Border in search of fortune. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
