- Résumé : "Our Fathers Have Told Us" by John Ruskin explores the rich historical and cultural tapestry of Amiens, a city in France, and its significance in the broader context of European history. The text delves into the origins of Amiens, highlighting its transformation from a Druid-inhabited region under Roman rule to a pivotal site in the Frankish kingdom. Ruskin emphasizes the role of St. Firmin, the first Christian missionary in the area, whose martyrdom laid the foundation for the Christianization of the region. The narrative also introduces St. Martin of Tours, a figure renowned for his charity and humility, whose influence extended far beyond his lifetime, shaping the spiritual and cultural landscape of France. Ruskin contrasts the enduring virtues of these early Christian figures with the modern industrialization symbolized by the smokestacks of Amiens, suggesting a loss of spiritual and moral direction in contemporary society. Through vivid storytelling and historical analysis, Ruskin invites readers to reflect on the enduring evolution of faith, virtue, and cultural heritage in shaping the identity of nations.
