About The Book
The classic work on the philosophy of hunting, iMeditations on Hunting/i is the most quoted book in sporting literature. It’s the finest work on the essence and ethics of hunting. Today when both hunting and fishing are often condemned, Meditations takes on an even greater significance. Ortega points out that life is a dynamic interchange between man and his surroundings. He explains that hunting is part of man’s very nature, that “hunting is a universal and impassioned sport it is the purest form of human happiness. The essence of hunting or fishing involves a complete code of ethics of the most distinguished design. The sportsman who accepts the sporting code of ethics keeps his commandments in the greatest solitude with no witnesses or audience other than the sharp peaks of the mountain, the stern oak, and the passing animal.” This important book of sporting literature belongs in the library of every sportsman. This edition is bound in rich cloth, on acid-free linen paper, with a silk ribbon and a handsome slipcase. Datus Proper, author of the acclaimed iWhat the Trout Said/i and iPheasants of the Mind/i, wrote a special introduction. Eldridge Hardie, one of today’s foremost sporting artists, created the full-page illustrations especially for this edition.
