Notes, which has been compared to Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, presents a Russian gentleman's affectionate observations on the fishing tackle, angling techniques, and fish species he came to know during five decades of adventure-filled fishing in the vast Russian steppe and environs of Moscow." "Notes on Fishing, however, goes beyond more discourse on angling; it offers a rich multitude of viewpoints: philosophical, literary, linguistic, ethnographic, biological, and conservationist. Aksakov has imbued his notes with a deep fondness for the Russian land and an expertly conveyed atmosphere of personal and national nostalgia." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of prose by a Pennsylvania poet and fly-fisher. An urban angler revels a surprising fact: god fishing--and adventure -- can be found a bike ride away within the city limits of America's first capital. Trout and bass, white perch and channel catfish, birds and a variety of human characters are all encountered along the Schuylkill River and its tiny tributary, Wissahickon Creek, which are bordered by Fairmount Park, the world's largest urban greenbelt. A tale told in poetic prose, this is a practical, lyrical, all-American fish story.

Download or read book Nice Fish written by Mark Rylance and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A quirky charmer of a play [that] contains, beneath its homely surfaces, larger meanings that glide softly into your mind and heart.”—The New York Times (Critics’ Pick) On a frozen Minnesota lake, the ice is beginning to creak and groan. It’s the end of the fishing season and on the frostbitten, unforgiving landscape, two friends are out on the ice, angling for something big, something down there that, had it the wherewithal, could swallow them whole. With the existentialism of a Beckett two-hander but set in the icy and folksy depths of the Midwest, Nice Fish is a unique portrayal of a friendship forged out of boredom, bad jokes, and an ability to wait for a really nice fish. Nice Fish premiered at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge Massachusetts, directed by Claire van Kampen; played to rave reviews in a sold-out extended run in New York in February 2016 at St. Ann’s Warehouse, starring Mark Rylance and Jim Lichtscheidl, and featuring Louis Jenkins; and transferred to London for a run in the West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre, beginning in November 2016.
