Description
What makes a great city? What should a nation value most—wealth or beauty? In Traffic, the great Victorian thinker John Ruskin delivers a powerful critique of industrial society, urging readers to rethink their priorities and embrace art, architecture, and moral integrity over mere commerce.
Originally a lecture given in 1864, Traffic is a fiery and thought-provoking piece that remains surprisingly relevant today. Ruskin challenges the blind pursuit of economic growth, warning of a world where cities are built without soul and beauty is sacrificed for profit. A fascinating read for lovers of philosophy, social commentary, and those interested in the ethics of urban development, this pocket-sized Penguin Little Black Classics edition is as insightful now as it was in the 19th century.
Key Features:
- A sharp critique of industrialisation and materialism by John Ruskin
- A timeless meditation on art, architecture, and the moral responsibilities of society
- Compact and stylish – ideal for collectors and lovers of philosophy and social commentary
- Part of the renowned Penguin Little Black Classics series
Rediscover Ruskin’s vision for a better world—grab your copy today.
