The Salmon Who Dared to Leap Higher

The Salmon Who Dared to Leap Higher

Translated for the first time into English, The Salmon Who Dared To Leap Higher by Ahn Do-hyun is a wise, tender and inspiring modern fable about finding freedom and a harmony with nature we have either forgotten or lost in the binding realities of life.

The life of the salmon is a predictable one: swimming upstream to the place of its birth to spawn, and then to die.

This is the story of a salmon whose silver scales mark him out as different – who dares to leap beyond his fate. It's a story about growing up, and about aching and ardent love. For swimming upstream means pursuing something the salmon cannot see: a dream.
