SIGNED!! "A WALK INTO THE WIND" BY NINO BURELLI, 2015 FIRST EDITION, HARDCOVER, 197 PAGES, BRAND NEW, UNREAD CONDITION
In a style that is reminiscent of Herman Charles Bosman, the characters spend time discussing matters relating to life and the emotions experienced by hunters and fishermen. Well illustrated with superb drawings by world renown artist Penny Meakin, and also with a large number of period photographs, many depicting local members of the community, this book will no doubt become a treasured piece of Africana. Some of the stories have previously appeared in outdoor magazines in South Africa and in Europe. Because the stories have universal appeal, many have been syndicated to other publications and thus have gained a strong following by readers, worldwide. Nino Burelli, who lives in Tzaneen, is well-known in regional and international agricultural and business circles. He started writing as a hobby and has subsequently received a number of literary awards.His most memorable awards are from Putsonder-water ladies book club and from Steelpoort Laerskool standard three book prize. A walk into the wind is not a training manual, although it does give a number of tips on what not to do. The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but mostly with a twist which discloses the close interaction found between hunters, fishermen and their prey. They all emphasize the love and appreciation for the environment and outdoor lifestyle. The principle that a good story can always be improved by a thinly veiled lie has been liberally applied. This is something which should be familiar to most fishermen and hunters.
