Synopsis "Blood in the Water: Fishing Tales of the Islands (in English)"
Each day, from small villages on islands throughout the Pacific, fishermen set out in search of the day's catch. It is a hard, uncertain, and always dangerous life. It often lacks the respect or status commensurate with the significant contributions these men make to the village economy. Yet there is potential profit in fishing, and it regularly lures in new men, often with deadly effect. Here is a memorable collection of vividly told tales of the trials of Pacific Isles fishermen. These exciting and often blood-chilling stories are strikingly real depictions of the hardships and triumphs of village fishermen who are engaged in an unending battle with a changing and dangerous sea. Whether they run hot through vast schools of tuna, seek solitary battle with the giant broad-billed swords, spearfish along the steep edges of outer reefs, or spend a night sounding the depths of hauntingly dark and deep seas, they must always anticipate the sudden gut-wrenching fear that comes with confronting the angry unknown. When the fishing is done, they must return home to their families and fight for their place in a world that has little understanding of the hardships they endure or the silent courage it takes to return to the ocean day after day. These tales illustrate, with sometimes frightening and often humorous clarity, a bit of what it means to be a small boat fisherman of the coastal villages of small Pacific Islands.
