La meva família i altres animals

Turned into a universal classic loved by several generations of readers, My Family and Other Animals narrates the adventures of the author's unusual, ruined and very unconventional family, who in 1935 left rainy England to settle in the sunny and paradisiacal Greek island of Corfu. The infinitely varied fauna that Gerry Durrell is passionate about -then a ten-year-old apprentice scientist- shares prominence with the eccentric and original members of his family, the brothers Larry, Les and Margo, mother Louise and all of the memorable characters island that make this book a gem: the story of a magical and singularly free childhood, crazy and happy. According to Lawrence Durrell, a truly comic book, a "masterpiece of humor, joy and poetry".
