Beschreibung

In "Pitcher Pollock," Christy Mathewson masterfully combines his passion for baseball with a vivid narrative style that captures the essence of early 20th-century American sports culture. The novel revolves around the character of Pollock, a talented pitcher whose journey through triumph and adversity serves as a microcosm of the era's shifting dynamics in professional athletics. Mathewson'Äôs prose immerses readers in the game'Äôs intricacies, blending a rich descriptive language with a compelling plot that explores themes of ambition, rivalry, and personal sacrifice, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving America. Christy Mathewson, a Hall of Fame pitcher himself, draws from his own experiences in the Major Leagues to lend authenticity to the story. Growing up in a small town, Mathewson's early love for baseball, combined with his understanding of the game's pressures and intricacies, deeply informs his portrayal of Pollock's struggles and triumphs. This character-driven narrative reflects Mathewson's innate ability to encapsulate the human experiences within the sport, making the storyline resonate with both avid fans and literary enthusiasts alike. "Pitcher Pollock" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of sports narrative and rich literary expression. Mathewson'Äôs unique insights into the life of a baseball player offer not just an engaging story, but also a poignant reflection on the personal costs of pursuing one'Äôs dreams. Whether you'Äôre a baseball aficionado or a lover of evocative prose, this novel is an essential addition to your bookshelf.

    On the Water is a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes, and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco. 
     
     
     
    There is fishing and diving in the Bahamas, tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, and fly fishing for sailfish in Central America. And there are larger-than-life personalities that are bigger than the fish tales they tell! On the Water is a finely honed and well crafted collection of tales for the true sportsman and makes for a perfect companion volume to la Valdene's celebrated collection of essays on hunting.

    New Hampshire's hard and rugged exterior protects one of America's richest native brook trout fisheries. These abundant waters are as varied as the landscape, from Mount Washington to peaceful meadows. The anticipation of the largest mayfly hatch contrasts with the quiet, deep waters of holding pools, and anglers are rewarded when they learn how to read the rivers and streams. Remote areas such as the Perry Ponds may require an entire day, while more accessible waters such as Mink Brook still provide excitement. With more than fifty years of experience, Steve Angers reveals some of his favorite spots and details what it takes to be successful when fishing in the Granite State.
