Sésame et les lys
by John Ruskin
'Sésame et les lys' Summary
Dans « Sésame », Ruskin analyse la lecture comme une source d'inspiration et de connaissance. Il exhorte à une lecture critique et réfléchie, privilégiant les œuvres classiques pour leur profondeur et leur valeur morale. Il s'insurge contre la superficialité de la lecture moderne et encourage à se nourrir de littérature pour enrichir son esprit et son âme. « Les lys », quant à elle, explore la beauté de la nature comme symbole d'une morale pure et d'un équilibre spirituel. Ruskin dénonce l'avidité et la dégradation de la nature due à la société industrielle. Il plaide pour une éducation artistique et morale fondée sur la contemplation de la beauté naturelle, et pour un retour à la simplicité et à l'harmonie avec le monde qui nous entoure. L'œuvre, traduite et préfacée par Marcel Proust, témoigne de l'importance de la lecture dans la formation de l'individu et de la nécessité de cultiver le goût pour l'art et la beauté.Book Details
