Abstract

Underlined by a solid note of hopefulness, the artistic universe of Bond resembles a desert garden, a green fix in the grim desert of current hot writing. In this time of sci-fi, wrongdoing fiction, pornos and shoddy spine chillers, Ruskin has expanded an uncorrupted universe of straightforward yet superb and engrossing stories describing life in another recuperating request. His words are fit for lighting up all life and changing this dreadful universe of our own with its startling certainties and horrifying every day marvels into a manor of dreams not fantasized but rather figured it out. The stories of blamelessness and experience are uncovered through his fiction and verse to comfort his perusers, not to calm them to rest but rather to introduce an attention to the substances that lay around unnoticed like the tweeting of winged creatures, the clacking of rain-drops on the rooftop tops, the aroma of the blossoms, the smell of the earth, the moving of plants in windy air, the melodic sputtering of rivulets, the whispering of trees, the quiet interest according to creatures and Insects, and the fluctuating shades of lives of men, ladies and kids. As an Intelligent eyewitness of human life and a keen understudy of human character, Bond shows the development, complexity and instance of an ace storyteller.
