Beautiful, languid prose, and yet far from stereotypical fartsy crap one too often finds in this subject. I will read more from this author. ( ) I picked this up as a sale/discard item from my local library and it just sat in a pile of similar items until I picked it up a few days ago. I wish I'd taken the trouble to read it before now. The author's stamping-ground is thousand of miles away from mine, and many of his fishing methods and experiences are also many miles away from my own, metaphorically speaking. However, it certainly struck a chord once I gave it my attention. As a previous reviewer has said, it also has potential to appeal to a more general reader. The more philosophically-minded angler will probably find parallels with their own experiences, thoughts and motivations, while the general reader may gain some insight into an angler's mindset, and how it can evolve. A brief footnote: according to the circulation-sheet inside the book, this copy was loaned just three times during a shelf-life of seven years. Why did I choose to pass it by when it was on the shelves I was scanning regularly? Winner of the Governor General's award in Canada, Lines on the Water: A Fisherman's Life on the Miramichi consists of the author's reminiscences about fishing on that river. Not having fished myself, I never thought that a book primarily about fly-fishing would be so compelling. David Adams Richards, writing in a simple and beautiful way, gives us a glimpse into this other world and helps us understand the relationship between man and nature, fisherman and fish. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In Lines on the Water, David Adams Richards writes eloquently and movingly about his life on the shores of one of the world's great fishing rivers. With the same insight and emotion that have won him praise for his fiction, Richards brings to life a community centred on fly-fishing -- a sport that has become, for many, a way of life. Weaving together tales of the guides and poachers, the "sports" and the city slickers, Richards pays tribute to all who have shared in the joy of fishing the Miramichi. This is a book about our relationship with nature, about hunters and fishermen, friendship and family, history and memory. Lines on the Water teems with lore and wisdom, humour, and most of all, passion. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
