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.

看完英剧《德雷尔一家》,找来杰拉尔德·德雷尔的原著《希腊三部曲》来看。 第一部是《追逐阳光之岛》,其实2005年的电影版《我的家人和其他动物》就是根据这本书改编的,《追逐阳光之岛》的英文原名就是《My Family and Other Animals》。 杰拉尔德·德雷尔是德雷尔一家中最小...
评分 评分不同的书需要不同的读法,或许不同的生活背景也会指引我们找到适合的书。 起初,我读这本书的时候,用的是读经管图书的快速阅读法。这一行写草,这一行写花,这一行……这一行……恩,然后呢?一般般嘛。 但是直到……我读到了作者关于第一只乌龟的故事。 可能由于家里也养...
评分五一三天假,时间短暂,来不及又累又远的出门旅行,还是在家找个舒服的角落看书更惬意自在。我已经安排好了计划,《希腊三部曲》是必读书目,用纯真的心、童稚的眼观看科孚岛上优美的自然风景、各式各样的动物植物以及行径古怪的达雷尔的家人。如果哪位也喜欢,我们还可以...

图书标签: 英国 自然 亲情 外国文学 动物 英文原版 Durrell 传记
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.
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。

评分这样的生活!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Writing came naturally to Gerald Durrell, so did humor. Nearly forgot how professional British could be at being socially awkward.???? Carry on folks.
