Salmon Fishing in the Yemen pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary -notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history forever. With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a weasely spin doctor, Fred's devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted salmon - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love.
Paul Torday was born in 1946 and read English Literature at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is married with two sons by a previous marriage and has two stepsons. He has spent most of his life in industry, but in the last three years has found the time to write. For the last fifteen years he has also been a keen salmon fisherman, and as he lives close to the River North Tyne, he has been able to indulge in this enthusiasm. He lives in Northumberland and has often visited the Middle East.
Spin the politics, spin the story.
評分I thought I liked it...not so much as I think of it now. One would never really "learn" anything from it, being a good read as it is. Definitely not "funny" as a comedy.
評分看似刻闆記錄的捲宗文件,卻滿是詼諧和諷刺,很有意思的春鞦筆法。一個關於信念和希望的故事,卻有這樣一個看不到希望、令人喪失信念的結尾。於是讀的過程是歡樂的,但迴味卻壓抑又沉重
評分其實就是一段劈腿= =
評分Robert和Shiekh死瞭,Harriet去法國瞭,Fred和Mary繼續著分居兩地名存實亡的婚姻。寫得很現實,現實不如電影圓滿,多瞭些思考,看瞭平添幾分悵惘。
看完这本书想找作者其他的作品。发现好可惜。 2007年出版处女作《到也门钓鲑鱼》,2011年,等到据此改编的同名电影上映时,作者本人已经因为癌症,病情严重不能亲赴现场。2013年去世,享年才67岁。 鲑鱼一书可谓享尽赞誉,拿奖无数,Goodreads上显示它在全球出版了50多个版本。...
