Viac o knihe

Published in three volumes between 1885 and 1889, Praeterita is a memoir by the Victorian art critic and social thinker John Ruskin. The title means 'things of the past' in Latin, and the work is a reflection on Ruskin's upbringing, education, and intellectual development. Praeterita is notable for its evocative prose, its candidness about Ruskin's personal life, and its insights into the cultural and social issues of the Victorian era.
