Description
“My Family and Other Animals” is “a book that literally captivates” (Sunday Times) and “the most delightful idyll imaginable” (The New Yorker). With constant love, impeccable precision, and unmistakable humor, Gerald Durrell tells about his family’s five-year stay (including his older brother Larry, i.e., Laurence Durrell—the future author of the famous “Alexandrian Quartet”) on the Greek island of Corfu. Both this novel and its sequels sold worldwide in multi-million copies and became bedside books for several generations of readers, and in England even entered the school curriculum. The “Corfu Trilogy” was adapted for television three times, the last time in 2016, when the British company ITV released the first season of the series “The Durrells,” with Edward Hall (“Downton Abbey,” “Agatha Christie’s Marple”) among the producers.
