Wenn ein Buch über Aale Aristoteles und Sigmund Freud behandelt, Fragen des Humanismus aufwirft und zeitgleich noch ein paar spannende Passagen aus dem Leben des Autors erzählt, dann ist es definitiv ein gutes Buch. Über Aale.

Friendship ended with Man. Eels are my new best friend now.

I’m uh, not sure I have much to add that isn’t on the book jacket: eels are mysterious, the author used to fish for them with his dad, and this book blends nature writing and memoir to cover both. If that sounds like your cup of tea, come on in, the water’s fine.

The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson is a fantastic introduction to the millennium long question of where the eel comes from.
The book is formated with information about eels interjected with the authors personal experience eel fishing with his father. I personally loved the mixture of memoir and scientific research. You can feel the passion Svensson has for the eel through the pages of the book and it is contagious.
If you are at all curious about eels and intrested in reading the experiences a son has had fishing with his father I couldn't recommend this book enough. It's absolutely beautiful and has easily become one of my favorites.
