Описание: 'For many years I had wanted to start a zoo . . . any reasonable person smitten with an ambition of this sort would have secured the zoo first and obtained the animals afterwards. but throughout my life I have rarely if ever achieved what I wanted by tackling it in a logical fashion.' A Zoo in My Luggage is Gerald Durrell's account of his attempt to set up his own zoo, after years spent gathering animals for other zoos. Journeying to Cameroon, he and his wife collected numerous mammals, birds and reptiles, including Cholmondely the chimpanzee and Bug-eye the bush-baby. But their problems really began when they attempted to return with their exotic menagerie. Not only had they to get them safely home to Britain but they also had to find somewhere able and - most of all - willing to house them. Told with wit and a zest for all things furry and feathered, Gerald Durrell's A Zoo in My Luggage is a brilliant account of how a pioneer of wildlife preservation came to found a new type of zoo.

Описание: `What we all need,` said Larry, `is sunshine... a country where we can grow.` `Yes, dear, that would be nice,` agreed Mother, not really listening. `I had a letter from George this morning - he says Corfu`s wonderful. Why don`t we pack up and go to Greece?` `Very well, dear, if you like,` said Mother unguardedly.

Описание: Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu. But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna - among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies. Recounted with immense humour and charm My Family and Other Animals is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood. 'Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities' Sunday Telegraph

Описание: In the gloom it came along the branches towards me, its round, hypnotic eyes blazing, its spoon-like ears turning to and fro independently like radar dishes ...it was Lewis Carroll`s Jabberwocky come to life ...one of the most incredible creatures I had ever been privileged to meet.

Описание: Drawing on the published work from "A Private Country" to "Vega", this title provides a revaluation of Durrell`s poetic career. It makes the case for "A Private Country" as one of the most accomplished debut collections of the twentieth century, and traces Durrell`s preoccupations and poetic personality within the wider scene.
