Gerald "Gerry" Malcolm Durrell was born in India in 1925. His elder siblings are Lawrence Durrell, Leslie Durrell, and Margaret Durrell. His family settled on Corfu when Durrell was a boy and he spent his time studying its wildlife. He relates these experiences in the trilogy beginning with My Family and Other Animals, and continuing with Birds, Beasts and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods. In his books he writes with wry humour and great perception about both the humans and the animals he meets.
On leaving Corfu he returned to England to work on the staff of Whipsnade Park as a student keeper. His adventures there are told with characteristic energy in Beasts in My Belfry. A few years later, Durrell began organising his own animal-collecting expeditions. The first, to the Cameroons, was followed by expeditions to Paraguay, Argentina and Sierra Leone. He recounts these experiences in a number of books, including The Drunken Forest. Durrell also visited many countries while shooting various television series, including An Amateur Naturalist. In 1958 Gerald Durrell realised a lifelong dream when he set up the Jersey Zoological Park, followed a few years later by the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.
Durell was married twice; Jacquie Durrell (1951-1979), Lee Durrell (1979-1995).
Gerald Durrell's style is exuberant, passionate and acutely observed. Gerald Durrell died in 1995.
When the unconventional Durrell family can no longer endure the damp, gray English climate, they do what any sensible family would do: sell their house and relocate to the sunny Greek isle of Corfu. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the island but ended up as a delightful account of Durrell’s family’s experiences, from the many eccentric hangers-on to the ceaseless procession of puppies, toads, scorpions, geckoes, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, bats, and butterflies into their home.
我的内心是幽暗的,我的内心是浮躁的,我的内心因为黑暗而变得复杂混淆,就像夜里总会有许多动物跑出来,你看不真,但是它们的一举一动,鸣叫嘶吼低语清唱都会让你神经质地感到害怕恐惧。 但白天来临,内心的黑暗依旧无法得到救赎。 阳光有时候给了你一点点麻痹,让你觉得自己...
评分这套书可说是老少咸宜,从九岁到九十九岁的读者都会喜爱。幽默的叙述方式,轻松、浅显的文字背后,一股单纯而直接的渲染力,不时透露着深厚地动物保育的涵养和情感。
评分在等女儿下课的闲隙中很偶然的拿起这本书,没想到刚刚打开书页就被他深深吸引住了。一个十岁的小男孩不用上学,天天在阳光明媚的希腊小岛上晃悠,山坡上捉捉虫,海岸边打打滚,不用劳累于案牍,伤神于成绩,自由自在滴接受大自然的教育。。。。。。 作者说:“科孚...
评分灿烂的阳光下,达雷尔一家人走在金黄的沙滩上,海风吹拂着他们的脸颊,舒服又惬意。 这套书是妈妈推荐的,我只懒洋洋地翻了几页,就无可救药地陷入了故事之中。杰拉尔德的文风像香甜的苹果一样,虽然脆蹦蹦的,却愈发令人回味无穷。他的文字有一种单纯的、直接的感染...
评分在出版“希腊三部曲”的那段日子里时间似乎永远凝固在酒醉的橄榄树林里,不论有多少工作压负在肩,有多少烦事郁结于心,只要翻开达雷尔的书稿世界万物皆可用欣赏的眼光温柔视之。 希腊伊甸园般的风景、作者“放浪形骸”的童年、温馨却异常搞笑的亲人,奇妙而又个性的动物,无论...
这样的生活!除了迷人的大小动植物、景色描写外,每次搬家的 conversation 章节也非常有趣。“儿戏”的挪窝理由,让你觉得啊生活真的可以,有无数种可能。
评分多年前读过一个中文版,现在哪里都找不到了。很特别很动人的书。作者是个自然学家,动物园主,特别爱动物的人,从书名就看得出来。他的文笔特别幽默,因为下意识里从动物的角度看待世界,于是行文总是出人意料。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Durrell
评分Writing came naturally to Gerald Durrell, so did humor. Nearly forgot how professional British could be at being socially awkward.???? Carry on folks.
评分英剧细节拍得太少了,书本正好补充下~ 像Mrs Durrell这样的妈妈真的太棒了~
评分令人开心。
