The Book of Eels: Our Enduring Fascination with the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World

The Book of Eels is Patrik Svensson's biographical portrait of our Enduring Fascination with the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
