Izaak Walton fu uno scrittore inglese, meglio conosciuto come l'autore di 'The Compleat Angler'. Il suo stile di prosa, che ritrae con grazia la bellezza della natura e la tranquillità della vita rurale, ha risuonato nei lettori per secoli. Oltre al suo libro più famoso, scrisse anche una raccolta di brevi biografie, oggi note come 'Walton's Lives'. Il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da un'acuta osservazione della natura umana e da un profondo apprezzamento per i piaceri semplici.

Zweiter Teil: Über das Fliegenfischen - Enthält Unterweisungen, wie man Forellen oder Aesche in einem klaren Strom fängt
Dieses legendäre und weltberühmte Anglerbuch von Izaak Walton galt - in der deutschen Übersetzung - lange als verschollen. Obwohl es weltweit in mehr als 600 Auflagen gedruckt wurde bekam man es bisher nur als Kopie der altenglischen Original-Ausgabe, die aber, da sie 1653 erstmals erschien, heutzutage nur schwer verständlich ist. Deshalb freuen wir uns umso mehr, dass nun wieder eine deutsche Ausgabe vorliegt. Jeder Angler sollte dieses Buch gelesen haben, denn es hat nichts von seiner Brisanz, Aktualität und Praxisnähe verloren - und seine Tipps sind bis heute unter Anglern in aller Munde und finden ihre Anwendung. Die interessante und aufschlussreiche Einleitung des gestandenen Anglers Andreas Hardt führt in weitere Walton-Mysterien ein: Er erläutert nicht nur den historischen Bezug, sondern erweitert Waltons Geschichte um wichtige spannende Inhalte und Ergänzungen, so dass das so scheinbar ‚normale und langweilige Leben' Waltons schon bald gar nicht mehr als ‚so brav' erscheint. Ein spannendes Buch und zwar (nicht nur) für Angler und solche die es werden wollen!
