Description
Sergei Timofeevich Aksakov’s wonderful book “Notes on Fishing” was published in 1847. After moving from the Urals to Moscow in 1826, Aksakov met N. V. Gogol, who greatly influenced him. Gogol advised—and later insisted—that Aksakov write down all his memories. Finally, Sergei Timofeevich followed his friend’s advice and decided to tell readers about his first passion, one that lasted his entire life—fishing.
Fishing, as Aksakov said, is one kind of hunting—hunting not with a gun, but with a fishing rod and nets. Both kinds of hunting are useful to a person: they bring hunters closer to nature and to each other.
In the introduction, Aksakov says he wrote this book “for fishermen by inclination, for hunters for whom the words ‘fishing rod’ and ‘fishing’ are magical words that strongly act on the soul.”
