Sobre este áudio
Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.
Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. All the great joy of angling is here: the thrill of fishing during a thunderstorm, the sight of a river in freshet or a river calm and hushed, the suspense of a skillful campaign to capture some half-glimpsed trout or salmon of extraordinary size, and the excitement of playing and landing a momentous fish.
A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling. It will provide a rich listening experience for all who love fishing or rivers.

Resumo editorial
Memories of a British childhood mix with reflections on the natural world over a course of a year of fly fishing in Canadian conservationist Roderick L. Haig-Brown’s A River Never Sleeps.
Born in Sussex and first coming to Canada as a teenager, Haig-Brown seeks out steelhead salmon in the wilds of British Columbia in this 1946 classic. Phil Williams brings a measured tone to his performance, echoing the depiction of the river as a timeless place.
Subtly written, few works have captured the pleasures of fly fishing so eloquently as this one.
