"Frailty and Strength" is a famous book by John Ruskin, which combines reflections on literature and society. In his work, the author turns to two symbolic images - sesame and lilies - to express his thoughts about beauty, femininity, education and social problems. Ruskin provokes the reader to think about the role of culture, education and art in the modern world, and also reminds about the importance of decency and honesty in interpersonal relationships. This book is an essential work for anyone interested in the deep cultural and philosophical aspects of life.
