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.
