My family and other animals

My Family and Other Animals is an attempt at zoological dissertation on the island of Corfu, Greece. The novel succeeds in being a creative mixture of natural history study and autobiographical account of the Durrell family as they live on Corfu for five years. The first in a trilogy of books on the island, My Family and Other Animals is a creative introduction to Gerald Durrell, child animal collector, and his eccentric family. The novel is a humorous study on human and animal behavior.

  • "Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals is a charming and comic autobiographical novel. Fleeing the gloomy British climate, the Durrell clan move to Corfu carrying the bare essentials of life: acne cures for Margo; revolvers for Leslie; books for Larry and a jam jar full of caterpillars for Gerry."
  • "When the dreary English weather of 1935 gets to be too much for the eccentric Durrell family, they set off for the rustic, sun-drenched Greek island of Corfu, and the unknown."
  • "The story of a five-year sojourn on the Greek island of Corfu by Gerald, his family, and the various animals he studied."
  • "Een 10-jarige jongen is verhuisd naar Korfoe. Hij verkent het eiland en ontdekt de wonderlijke mensen en dieren die daar leven. Met (kleuren)foto's, opdrachten, een MultiRom en een cd met het voorgelezen verhaal en verschillende activiteiten."

  • "Sometimes it's pretty hard to tell them apart ... my family and the animals, that is. I don't know why my brothers and sisters complain so much. With snakes in the bath and scorpions on the lunch table, our house, on the island of Corfu, is a bit like a circus. So they should feel right at home ..."@en
  • "La famille Durrell ne supportant plus le morne climat anglais, décide d'aller s'installer sur l'île de Corfou. Pour Gerry, âgé de 10 ans, commence une période de fantaisie et de liberté consacrée à l'observation des animaux. Une fabuleuse ménagerie défile alors chez la famille Durrell et provoque de nombreuses catastrophes."
  • "Autobiographical account of the author's childhood on the island of Corfu with his "family and other animals.""@en
  • "Autobiografisch relaas van een verblijf op Korfoe temidden van uiteenlopende dieren en excentrieke familieleden."
  • "Gerald (10) is verhuisd naar Korfoe. Hij verkent het eiland en ontdekt de wonderlijke mensen en dieren die daar leven. Met (kleuren)foto's, opdrachten, een MultiRom en een cd met het voorgelezen verhaal en verschillende activiteiten. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar."
  • "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."@en
  • "Román anglického přírodopisce, bratra známého spisovatele, vytěžený z autorova dětského pobytu na středomořském ostrově Korfu, kde byl kdysi v mládí se svou rodinou. Autor zde očima desetiletého hrdiny s humorem i kriticky pozoruje zvyky různých živočichů, ale i příslušníků rodinného společenství. Kniha přináší úsměvnou pohodu, založenou na typicky anglickém humoru, a vzrušující pohled na středomořskou přírodu."
