A gift book in a leather cover "Fishing" by L.P. Sabaneev

The book "Fishing. The life and fishing of freshwater fish" is the most famous essay on the topic of fishing, written by the outstanding zoologist, naturalist and expert in hunting, Leonid Sabaneev. In 1911, the third edition of L. P. Sabaneyev's famous book "The Fishes of Russia" was published, on the basis of which the book offered to your attention was prepared.

In terms of clarity, completeness and fascination of presentation, the book by the Russian scientist L. P. Sabaneev to this day has no equal in both domestic and foreign literature devoted to the life of fish and methods of amateur fishing. The maximum simplicity and accessibility made it interesting to the widest readership.

The history of fishing began almost at the same moment when the history of mankind began. For example, the first fishing lines made of silk and metal hooks appeared in China about 2.5 thousand years ago! And during the Middle Ages, Europeans also became infected with the hobby of fishing.

It is worth noting that Sabaneev wrote in the second half of the 19th century, but even now, regardless of whether fishing is a hobby or a necessary condition for survival, the author's works have not lost their relevance! This book is written in the most accessible, concise language, all the material is presented clearly without unnecessary water, lyrical digressions, which will allow you to gather a huge amount of useful information. This technique makes Sobaneyev's book primarily a fisherman's manual, and not just an abstract description of the fishing process. Any question that you have or may have, starting with the name of a particular fish that is found in the river near your cottage or on the other side of the country and ending with the process of choosing a hook and the method of extracting caviar, will be answered in this book. It can also be considered as a fascinating historical encyclopedia dedicated to a specific topic and learn more about the fauna of your native country.
