导读

芝麻，不是一个开启阿里巴巴财富之门的咒语，而是一个隐喻。任何一个追求品位生活的男青年都应该掌握通向智慧宝库的钥匙，那便是亲近经典、分享激情。百合，是圣洁的象征，代表了女性的忠贞与纯洁。首先要培养女性的外在美，但更要注重她的学识、个性和情感的锻造。

生活充满了自相矛盾的命题，我们不要让心灵上的谜团令我们的希望破灭，希望是盏灯，我们不能让希望的光亮暗淡，要用艺术来点亮希望和未来。

"Sesame" is a metaphor. Sesame and Lilies comprises two lectures delivered at Manchester in 1864 (1865) (i.e. Of Queen’s Gardens and ‘Of King’s Treasuries to which was added, in a later edition of 1871, The Mystery of Life and Its Arts). John Ruskin's Sesames and Lilies, first published in 1865, stands as a classic 19th-century statement on the natures and duties of men and women. Sesames and Lilies is an articulation of Ruskin's societal views, encouraging women to recognize their most important role: to morally guide men, and embrace that position.

Sesames and Lilies is one of the most popular works of Ruskin. There are two main parts in this collection of lectures: Of Kings' Treasuries, in which Ruskin critiques Victorian manhood, and Of Queens' Gardens, in which he counsels women to take their places as the moral guides of men and urges the parents of girls to educate them to this end. These lectures offer readers full access to Ruskin's complex and sometimes contradictory views on men and women. The accompanying essays place Sesame and Lilies within historical debates on men, women, culture and the family. Elizabeth Helsinger examines the text as a meditation on the pleasures of reading; and Jan Marsh situates the work within controversies over educational reform.

作者简介

约翰·罗斯金（John Ruskin，1819—1900），英国维多利亚时代的作家和美术评论家。1843年，约翰·罗斯金因《现代画家》（Modern Painters）一书而成名。随后发表了三十九卷有关艺术的评论，使他成为维多利亚时代艺术趣味的代言人。60年代后，罗斯金的思想发生了很大的转变，他一改前期的美学风范，开始致力于社会改良运动。除在报刊杂志上发表了大量的抨击时事的文章外，他曾在伦敦及附近城市作了大量的演讲。这些演讲后来结集出版，在英国广为传颂，最著名的莫过于《芝麻与百合》。

John Ruskin (8 February 1819 —20 January 1900) was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era. He wrote on subjects ranging from geology to architecture, myth to ornithology, literature to education, and botany to political economy. His writing styles and literary forms were equally varied. Ruskin penned essays and treatises, poetry and lectures, travel guides and manuals, letters and even a fairy tale. Sesame and Lilies comprises two lectures delivered at Manchester in 1864 (1865) (i.e. Of Queen’s Gardens and ‘Of King’s Treasuries to which was added, in a later edition of 1871, The Mystery of Life and Its Arts).

媒体书评

被推为“牛津大学历史上关于男人和女人的最经典的演讲”。

有“美的使者”之称。

罗斯金本身即是一位多才多艺的艺术家，曾经有人把他比作我国的钱钟书。

Feminist critics of the 1960s and 1970s regarded Of Queens' Gardens as an exemplary expression of repressive Victorian ideas about femininity, and they paired it with John Stuart Mill's more progressive Subjection of Women.

The accompanying essays place Sesame and Lilies within historical debates on men, women, culture and the family.

Elizabeth Helsinger examines the text as a meditation on the pleasures of reading.

Jan Marsh situates the work within controversies over educational reform.
