About this title

Synopsis

Notes on Fishing was Sergei Aksakov's first book and Russia's first angling treatise. It presents a Russian gentleman's observations on the fishing tackle, angling techniques, and fish species he came to know during five decades of adventure-filled fishing in the vast Russian steppe and the environs of Moscow. But it is goes beyond a mere discourse on angling, offering philosophical, literary, linguistic, ethnographic, biological, and conservationist observations. Aksakov has imbued his notes with a deep fondness for the land and an expertly conveyed atmosphere of personal and national nostalgia.

About the Author

SERGEI AKSAKOV (1791–1859) took up writing late in life, under the influence of his good friend Gogol. He was widely acknowledged as a master of Russian prose.

THOMAS P. HODGE is assistant professor of Russian literature and language at Wellesley College.
