John Рескин (1819-1900) is a prominent арт-критик XIX centuries, intellectual person on calling, publicman engaging in the questions of social injustice. A book "Theory of beauty" is the monologue, turned to the reader, in that the glorified art critic disserts upon intercommunication of art and morality, art and religion, art and nature. In a book Рескин not only offers an opinion but also grounds him, at times peremptorily and hot. As he wrote: to "Talk and operate it is true constantly and unchanging almost similarly difficult, perhaps, how to operate, without regard to threats and punishments". This book for those, who loves an art and searches pleasure from contiguity with an idea out of the generally accepted rules.
