The King of the Golden River, also known as The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria, is a novella written by John Ruskin in 1859. The story is set in the Austrian Alps and tells the tale of three brothers named Hans, Schwartz, and Gluck. Hans and Schwartz are selfish and cruel, while Gluck is kind and compassionate. One day, a mysterious stranger arrives at their door seeking shelter, but the brothers turn him away. The stranger, who is actually a dwarf, curses the brothers and their land, causing a drought that ruins their crops and leaves them destitute. The only way to break the curse is for one of the brothers to climb to the top of a nearby mountain and find the King of the Golden River, who can turn the cursed land into a paradise. Gluck, the youngest and most virtuous brother, sets out on the journey and encounters various obstacles along the way. He eventually reaches the top of the mountain and meets the King of the Golden River, who rewards him for his kindness and selflessness by turning the cursed land into a beautiful and prosperous valley. The King of the Golden River is a classic fairy tale that explores themes of greed, kindness, and redemption. Ruskin's vivid descriptions of the Alpine landscape and his use of allegory make the story a timeless piece of literature that has captured the imaginations of readers for generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
John Ruskin was an English writer, philosopher, art critic, and polymath during the Victorian era. He lived from 8 February 1819 to 20 January 1900. He published on a wide range of topics, including political economy, myth, ornithology, literature, education, and geology. Ruskin was very interested in Viollet le Duc's work, especially his Dictionary, which he regarded to be "the only book of any value on architecture." He taught it to all of his students, including William Morris. Ruskin used a variety of literary genres and writing styles. In addition to articles and treatises, he also published poems, lectures, travel instructions, correspondence, and even a fairy tale. Additionally, he created in-depth drawings and paintings of decorations, landscapes, birds, plants, and rocks. His early writings on art were written in an ornate style that eventually gave way to simpler language that served to better convey his ideas. He highlighted the links between nature, art, and society in all of his writing.
