Queen of the Air: An Exploration of Greek Cloud and Storm Myths
9.99 €
"The Queen of the Air" (1869) by the renowned art theorist John Ruskin (1819–1900) is a treatise on everything, literally. Beginning with the goddess Athena as patron of the element of air, Ruskin effortlessly moves on to the perception and symbolism of color, the growth and development of plants, and then to questions of housekeeping, work ethic, and the rehabilitation of delinquents. From a bold, if not reckless, mixture of everything with everything, astonishingly poetic and even surreal visions emerge. Ruskin is convinced that metaphors explain not our way of thinking, but the world itself: nature and humanity speak their truths in the language of myth, and animals and plants are the words of this language.
