Sinossi

Izaak Walton's The Complete Angler is a timeless classic of English literature, combining practical guidance, philosophy, and pastoral reflection into a rich and enchanting exploration of the art of fishing. First published in 1653, it has captivated readers for centuries, not only for its detailed advice on angling but also for its meditative insights into nature, leisure, and the human spirit.

In The Complete Angler, Walton presents fishing as more than a pastime—it is a means of cultivating patience, observing the rhythms of the natural world, and reflecting on life itself. The book blends technical instruction with anecdotes, dialogues, and stories that celebrate the beauty of rivers, streams, and countryside landscapes. Walton's approach emphasizes harmony with nature, respect for wildlife, and the quiet joy of outdoor recreation.

The work is notable for its engaging style, combining practical tips on bait, tackle, and techniques with poetic reflections on friendship, virtue, and contentment. Through conversations between anglers, Walton conveys wisdom on the moral and philosophical dimensions of leisure, offering a gentle reminder of the importance of simplicity, observation, and reflection.

The Complete Angler is both a handbook for fishing enthusiasts and a literary celebration of rural life, embodying the connection between human creativity, natural beauty, and thoughtful living. Its enduring charm lies in Walton's ability to weave practical knowledge with elegant prose, humor, and timeless meditations on the pleasures of a quiet, contemplative life.

Essential for anglers, nature lovers, and students of classic English literature, The Complete Angler is a work that transcends its subject, offering inspiration, practical guidance, and an enduring appreciation for the harmony between humans and the natural world.

    Flat Out and Fearless - There's...

    With a racing career spanning more than four decades, coming second is never an option for Peter Lindenberg.
    Troubled by a lack of self-confidence, Peter's 'average' childhood saw a bitter parent who doubted his abilities, a demanding school system that forced him to fit the mould, a younger brother who was better at everything, and brutal, undeserved beatings with a sjambok.
    But when Peter tasted the buzz of barefoot water-skiing he found it impossible to resist, and went on to break records, earn numerous Springbok Colours, and win many world championships.
    This, however, was just the start.
    Little did Peter know the sporting magic that would follow in his life – first as a powerboat racer and then as a race car driver.
    Despite counting on pins and metal to hold his battered body intact, being arrested unjustly, a serious motor racing accident with his car going up in flames, and a brain haemorrhage, Peter keeps going flat out and quickly ranks on the international championship charts, cheats death twice, and presses the reset button to positively influence a failed marriage.
    Flat Out and Fearless is Peter's cut-to-the-chase life journey that has rendered him one bionic man who is proud of his blatant honesty and his courageous quest to uplift and transform the lives of the downtrodden.

    For Robert Hughes fishing was a lifelong obsession and the pastime that he loved best. In A Jerk on One End he brings the wit and insight that have characterized his art criticism to the subjects of fish and fishing. He traces his love of fishing to his boyhood on Sydney Harbour and recounts the high and low points of his career with rod and reel, from his first catch to hair-raising tales of shark hunts he has picked up from other fishermen. Mixing memoir and history with folklore and anecdote, this audiobook is a celebration of the delights and beauties of fishing as well as a powerful and reasoned plea for the protection of the ecology of the ocean.
