Gerald Durrell (1925–1995) is a famous English zoologist and traveler, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century. Durrell’s books have long made up a golden fund of world literature and are widely popular with readers around the globe.
“The Road to the Kangaroo” is the story of Durrell’s six-month expedition to New Zealand, Australia, and Malaya. Although the travelers didn’t spend very much time in each of those countries, they managed to encounter an incredible variety of the animal and plant worlds of island states. He tells about the difficulties and discoveries awaiting the celebrated naturalist and his companions with inimitable humor and research-precise accuracy.
