Torday Paul Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Издательство: Orion Books Жанр: Orion Books Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 352 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub 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.
