درباره این کتاب:
From the
award-winning, bestselling author of
Cod--the irresistible story of the
science, history, art, and culture of the
least efficient way to catch a fish.
Fly fishing, historian Mark Kurlansky has
found, is a battle of wits, fly fisher vs.
fish--and the fly fisher does not always
(or often) win. The targets--salmon,
trout, and char; and for some, bass,
tarpon, tuna, bonefish, and even
marlin--are highly intelligent, wily,
strong, and athletic animals. The allure,
Kurlansky learns, is that fly fishing
makes catching a fish as difficult as
possible. There is an art, too, in the
crafting of flies. Beautiful and
intricate, some are made with more than
two dozen pieces of feather and fur from a
wide range of animals. The cast as well is
a matter of grace and rhythm, with
different casts and rods yielding varying
results.
Kurlansky is known for his deep dives into
the history of specific subjects, from cod
to oysters to salt. But he spent his
boyhood days on the shore of a shallow
pond. Here, where tiny fish weaved under a
rocky waterfall, he first tied string to a
branch, dangled a worm into the water, and
unleashed his passion for fishing. Since
then, a lifelong love of the sport has led
him around the world to many countries,
coasts, and rivers--from the wilds of
Alaska to Basque country, from the
Catskills in New York to Oregon's Columbia
River, from Ireland and Norway to Russia
and Japan. And, in true Kurlansky fashion,
he absorbed every fact, detail, and
anecdote along the way.
The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing
marries Kurlansky's signature wide-ranging
reach with a subject that has captivated
him for a lifetime--combining history,
craft, and personal memoir to show
readers, devotees of the sport or not, the
necessity of experiencing nature's balm
first-hand .
