Features: This is a book about fishing, but it is not a "technical" guide for fishermen. Rather, it is a philosophy of fishing, reflecting the ideal of life as embodied in the sport: simplicity, patience, integrity, and contentment. Books that solely discuss fish behavior, fishing techniques, and cooking are countless. The key reason why A Fisherman's Way (《》) has become a "bible" lies in Walton's clear and elegant writing style, as well as the tranquil and rustic aura he displays in his prose. It bears a resemblance to Tao Yuanming's "Seeing the Southern Mountains in leisure," perhaps which is why this book has remained popular for three centuries!
