Excellent Fisherman
The first Polish translation of Isaac Walton’s book “The Perfect Fisherman, or the Rest of the Thinking Man” from the publication, which after the Bible is the most widely published book in the world: since its first edition in 1653.
Despite the passing of the years, it is still relevant: it is the quintessence of fishing as close contact with nature, learning about it and using its gifts reasonably.
Walton describes the charm of rural life and takes the reader to the land of flowers, poetry and peace. It is this book that has sparked fishing in Britain and the West since the late 18th century.

What they wrote about it
“Bravo! I'm sure a fair number of readers will be delighted by this book from a seventeenth-century angler and man of learning, which conveys so evocatively the joy of a thoughtful relationship with nature and the humble use of its gifts.”
“A book published in London in 1676 and translated into Polish for the first time, and what a translation! It isn't a book only for connoisseurs of old language but a genuine guide that is still relevant today. The narration is as if a master were training his apprentice. This book pulls you in like deep water.”
“A timeless parable about a wise and useful life lived with passion, in harmony with nature. Slow down. Stop for a moment, take your rod, go to the river and listen to the green heart of nature beating. By the river you will be free.”
