An essay by British essayist Izaak Walton. First published in 1653. The fifth edition, published in 1676, is the standard version, with additions by the author and a second part written by English poet and writer Charles Cotton (1630-1687). In the form of a dialogue between an angler, a hunter, a falconer, and other characters, fishing techniques are discussed while touching on the ecology of fish and cooking methods. While talking about the joys of fishing, the author's true intention is to nostalgically reminisce about the good old days of England and praise the simple, quiet life surrounded by nature, and it can also be said to be a record of the heart. It is said to be the second most widely read book after the Bible.

イギリスのエッセイスト、アイザック・ウォルトンの随筆。初版は1653年。筆者の増補とイギリスの詩人であり作家でもあるチャールズ・コットンCharles Cotton(1630―1687)の筆になる第二部を加えた1676年の第五版が標準版。釣師、猟師、鷹匠(たかじょう)、その他の人物の対話形式で、魚の生態や料理法に触れながら釣りの技術が語られる。釣りの楽しみを語っていて、実はイギリスの古きよき時代を懐かしく回想し、自然に包まれた素朴で静かな生活の礼賛が作者の真意で、心の記録ともいえよう。聖書に次いで広く読まれたといわれる。 [平 善介] 『森秀人訳『完訳 釣魚大全』(1974・角川書店)』 [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
