I’ve been watching this Virily game for a while now, “Photo Challenge” but I’m just a fan and observer. I would not have to be actively involved. Here’s the day, so I’m trying. For the first photo I chose something emotionally for me personally. I will tell you something about it later.
Fifteen years ago, I met an online friend from London. The topic was fishing and classical literature on this subject. We came to theme book “The Compleat Angler”, which is almost Biblical for fishing lovers and history on this subject of conversation. A friend from London asked me for a home address and sent this book as a gift.
And that story is not the end. The book just arrived on slow postmanship routes to my country and my town on the hilly Balkans. I find out the sad news. A friend from London died. That is why I keep this book as something very important and sacred. It has a great emotional value for me. For a long time before and after, I’m looking for a book on my native language “Savršeni pecaroš” and just recently I found it.
As it is a classical book, it is written in an old rare English language that is very difficult to translate into other world languages. The Compleat Angler (The Spelling is sometimes modernized to The Complete Angler) is a book by Izaak Walton. It was first published in 1653 by Richard Marriot of St Dunstan-in-the-West, London. Walton continued to add to it for a quarter of a century. It is a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing in prose and verse. This is what linguistic experts explain. Rare English Language, My Favorite theme in the book. A virtual friend who dies sudden. I had to write this somewhere.
