Fishing for Tigers by Emily Maguire Pdf

WINNER OF THE SMH BEST YOUNG AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST 2013 Six years ago, Mischa Reese left her abusive husband and suffocating life in California and reinvented herself in steamy, chaotic Hanoi. In Vietnam, she finds satisfying work and enjoys a life of relative luxury and personal freedom. Thirty-five and single, Mischa believes that romance and passion are for teenagers; a view with which her cynical, promiscuous expat friends agree. But then a friend introduces Mischa to his visiting eighteen-year-old son. Cal is a strikingly attractive Vietnamese-Australian boy, but he's resentful of his father, and of the nation which has stolen him away. His beauty and righteous idealism awaken something in Mischa and the two launch into an affair that threatens Mischa's friendships and reputation and challenges her sense of herself as unselfish and good. Set among the louche world of Hanoi's expatriate community, Fishing for Tigers is about a woman struggling with the morality of finding peace in a war-haunted city, personal fulfilment in the midst of poverty and sexual joy with a vulnerable youth. PRAISE FOR EMILY MAGUIRE "At the heart of ... Emily Maguire's work lies an urgent need to pull away at the interconnecting threads of morality, society and human relationships." Sydney Morning Herald "what you get, along with a sharp mind and a keenness to investigate cultural confusions, is an engaging ability to put the vitality of the story first." Weekend Australian

It vividly evokes the particular beauty of Hanoi, the intoxication of being a stranger, and the danger of desire." —NEWTOWN REVIEW OF BOOKS

Fifty Favorite Fly-Fishing Tales by Chris Santella Pdf

For fishermen, the only thing more fun than catching fish are the stories they tell about those fish . . . and the ones that got away. Nobody knows that better than Chris Santella, author of the best-selling Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die. For his latest homage to anglers, Santella invited 50 celebrated fly fishers to share their favorite fly-fishing stories based on their travels and experiences. The result is this unforgettable collection of stories that are, surprisingly enough for fishermen, true. Fifty Favorite Fly-Fishing Tales includes stories that cover the panoply of emotions— comical, poignant, inspirational, incredible, absurd. It tells of Ralph Cutter casting in complete darkness for blind catfish in the caves of Borneo, J. W. Smith boxing grizzlies to protect his tent camp in Alaska, and George Anderson fly fishing for saltwater crocodiles in Cuba. It also describes how Jean Williams, through trout fishing in the Colorado Rockies, helped to bridge the chasm between a type-A father and his neglected son. Accompanied by stunning photographs, the stories in this book reflect not only the rich experience of fly fishing but also how it can extend beyond the rivers, oceans, and fish to touch the core of our daily lives.

Don’t Step on Crocodiles by Richard Mounsey Pdf

Richard Mounsey grew up in a fishing community in Victoria, Australia. His stepfather and brother were fishermen and he was destined to follow in their footsteps. However, secretly he dreamed of becoming a Fisheries Officers and one day a National Director of Fisheries. Without having influential friends in the right government circles he realised at the age of 14 he would have to gain outstanding experience to give him the edge over other would-be Fisheries Officers. Thus he set a course that risked life and limb to achieve his goal, the only way he knew how. As a teenager trapped aboard a Japanese trawler he was physically abused, treated like a slave, thrown overboard, bitten by sea snakes and attacked by a crocodile. He wasted time working on the family shark boat before winning a Churchill Fellowship that took him to the polar reaches of Canada and a world of big catches and high stakes. With a few dollars behind him he went into a bad partnership in a trawler back home before becoming the United Nations Master Shark Fisherman consultant in the Caribbean. Five years later, in 1987, back in Australia, he headed up the Northern Territory’s Fishing Technology Section. During this period crocodile encounters and sea adventures dominated his daily life.
