Beschreibung von Audible
Memories of a British childhood mix with reflections on the natural world over a course of a year of fly fishing in Canadian conservationist Roderick L. Haig-Brown’s A River Never Sleeps.
Born in Sussex and first coming to Canada as a teenager, Haig-Brown seeks out steelhead salmon in the wilds of British Columbia in this 1946 classic. Phil Williams brings a measured tone to his performance, echoing the depiction of the river as a timeless place.
Subtly written, few works have captured the pleasures of fly fishing so eloquently as this one.
Inhaltsangabe
Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.
Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. All the great joy of angling is here: the thrill of fishing during a thunderstorm, the sight of a river in freshet or a river calm and hushed, the suspense of a skillful campaign to capture some half-glimpsed trout or salmon of extraordinary size, and the excitement of playing and landing a momentous fish.
A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling. It will provide a rich listening experience for all who love fishing or rivers.
