This is a lovely book that at times blends Zen of the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance with Thoreau's Walden. Taylor reflects on life, nature, and education through the common theme of fishing. It's the sort of work that I'm likely to revisit multiple times. Time is explored in his opinions about geology, his own life and that of his grandson's. In doing so, it gives the reader multiple lenses through which to analyse consumerism and the effect that it is having on our lives and the environment. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eight-year-old grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of fly-fishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the water's edge. Fishing the River of Time is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires self-reflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
