Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Fishing Stories nets an abundant catch of wonderful writing in a wide variety of genres and styles. The moods range from the rollicking humour of Rudyard Kiplings On Dry-Cow Fishing as a Fine Art and the rural gothic of Annie Proulxs The Wer-Trout to the haunting elegy of Norman Macleans A River Runs Through It.Many of these tales celebrate human bonds forged over a rod, including Guy de Maupassants Two Friends, Jimmy Carters Fishing with My Daddy, and Ernest Hemingways The Garden of Eden. Some deal in reverence and romance, as in Roland Pertwees The River God, and some in adventure and the stuff of legend, as in Zane Greys The First Thousand-Pounder and Ron Rashs Their Ancient Glittering Eyes. There are works that confront head-on the heartbreaks and frustrations of the sport, from Thomas McGuanes meditation on long spells of inaction as the essence of fishing in The Longest Silence to Raymond Carver on a boys deflated triumph in the gut-wrenching masterpiece Nobody Said Anything. And alongside the works of literary giants are the memories of people both great and humble who have found meaning and fulfillment in fishing, from a former American president to a Scottish gamekeepers daughter.Whether set against the open ocean or tiny mountain streams, in ancient China, tropical Tahiti, Paris under siege, or the vast Canadian wilderness, these stories cast wide and strike deep into the universal joys, absurdities, insights, and tragedies of life.

Objects of passion range from a glamorous silent-movie star in Elizabeth Bowen's haunting 'Dead Mabelle' to a faithful ghost in Kawabata's 'Immortality' and a successful heart surgeon and serial husband in Margaret Atwood's 'Bluebeard's Egg'.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The unforgettable canines gathered here include Kipling's heroically faithful 'Garm', Bret Harte's irrepressible scoundrel of a 'yaller dog' and the aggressively affectionate three-legged pit bull who lives in a block of flats for dogs in Jonathan Lethem's 'Ava's Apartment'. Here are stories which touchingly illuminate the dog's role in the emotional lives of humans, such as Tobias Wolff's 'Her Dog', where a widower shares his grief for his wife with her grieving pet. Here, too, are humorous glimpses of the canine point of view, from O. Henry's tale of a dissatisfied lapdog's escape to P. G. Wodehouse's cheerfully naive watchdog who simply wants everybody to get along. These writers and others - Ray Bradbury, JamesThurber and Penelope Lively among them - offer imaginative, lyrical and empathetic portraits of man and woman's most devoted companion.
