Summary "Kuninkaitten aarteet" by John Ruskin is a philosophical discourse written in the late 19th century. The book, derived from a lecture delivered in Manchester, addresses the importance of books and reading in the development of character and intellect. Through this work, Ruskin employs a rhetorical style to advocate for the cultivation of a discerning mind in relation to literature. At the start of the book, Ruskin seeks to engage his audience by apologizing for the ambiguous title of his lecture, asserting that he does not refer to material wealth or famous kings, but rather to a different kind of royal treasury found in literature and ideas. He points out the societal focus on material success in education and encourages a deeper approach to reading, one that values the insights and wisdom contained within great literary works. By emphasizing the importance of careful reading and thoughtful reflection, he invites readers to appreciate the true treasures of knowledge that great books offer.
