The lowland cottage — england and france, de John Ruskin: uma proposta de tradução

Abstract

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was an influential nineteenth-century British of the Victorian era; the leading English art critic, theorist, social thinker, writer, and poet. From the book entitled the poetry of Architecture, Volume I, we present the translation of the essay The Lowland Cottage—England and France into the Brazilian Portuguese. In his pursuit of beauty and nature, Ruskin invites us to observe the architecture and aesthetics of the cottages and the beauty of the lowlands of England and France, going way beyond a mere description. In other words, he is describing art in its historical context through the beauty and enchantments he found throughout his experiences on the journey.
