Reseña del editor:
Praise for Outside Days:
‘A marvellous book, enthusiasm is at a discount in our colourless age. One warms to Hastings because he is an unashamed enthusiast.’
Raymond Carr, Literary Review
‘A charming celebration of the country pursuits of hunting with rod and gun.’
Sunday Times
A new collection of rural writings celebrating the pleasures of the country life – in particular fishing and shooting – by the eminent military historian and former editor of the Daily Telegraph, Max Hastings.
Max Hastings is known as a best-selling author of military histories (The Battle of the Falklands, Bomber Command, Armageddon, etc.) and as a former editor of the Daily Telegraph and Evening Standard, but his first loves are the countryside and its pursuits.
Whether walking up grouse in Scotland, tramping through snipe bogs in Ireland or catching salmon on the Tweed, this collection of articles and essays will delight all those who share his passions.
There are also trenchant essays on some of the big issues facing Britain’s’ rural areas: intensive farming, gun ownership, access to the countryside and, of course, the controversial issue of fox hunting.

Descripción Condición: new. (Hardcover, 2005). 2005 1st edition. 8vo (156 x 241mm). Ppx,277. B/w vignette illustrations by William Geldart. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight browning to edges else very good in dust-wrapper. A new collection of rural writings, based in part on the author's pieces for the Field, celebrating the pleasures of the country life - walked up Scottish grouse, Irish snipe-bog tramping, Tweed salmon and more. "Country Fair is a bedside book for everyone who loves the British countryside, and especially fishing and shooting. Max Hastings describes himself as 'an eager duffer' at both. He writes of all manner of experiences with rod, gun and dogs in every corner of this island, creating a portrait of field sports that will summon happy memories for everyone who shares his passions. He also reflects about the future of the countryside amid all the pressures it faces today - political, social, and environmental. The Labour government's ban on hunting has created bitter tensions between town and country which will not go away. A struggle has begun to preserve rural traditions from urban political intolerance, which is likely to continue for decades to come. Yet the author remains optimistic that we can sustain the great heritage of the countryside, if we are willing to fight for it. The challenge is to persuade Britain's city-dwellers that those who live amid the streams, woodlands and green fields are their best custodians. Much of this book is based upon Max Hastings's writings in The Field. It should delight not only fishers and shooters, but everyone who cherishes Britain's countryside. It offers lyrical tales of rural life, and some hard words about the battle to preserve it." . Nº de ref. del artículo: 45670
