{"product_id":"the-compleat-angler-izaak-walton-9789373408453","title":"The Compleat Angler","description":"The compleat angler is a contemplative and richly textured work that elevates fishing beyond a simple pastime into a philosophy of life. Through a series of essays and dialogues, the narrative blends practical instruction with meditations on nature's harmony and the serenity gained from angling. The opening scene unfolds on a clear May morning, where an angler engages with companions devoted to other outdoor pursuits such as hunting and falconry. Their cordial exchange reveals a shared respect for nature's rhythms, while the angler offers a spirited defense of fishing as an unmatched source of peace. The discussions convey that angling fosters patience, observation, and a profound appreciation for the world's subtle beauty. Set against picturesque landscapes, these reflections intertwine skill, tradition, and companionship, portraying fishing as a way to nourish both mind and spirit. The work's enduring appeal lies in its ability to merge technical expertise with timeless contemplation, presenting angling as not only a craft but a gentle art of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Izaak Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9373408453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789373408453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Double 9 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.36d","brand":"Izaak Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066772041983,"sku":"9789373408453","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7843dce4-0dff-4d2a-b961-11f23d24a8ef.jpg?v=1768680455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-compleat-angler-izaak-walton-9789373408453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
