My Family and Other Animals

My Family and Other Animals” is a “book that captivates in the literal sense of the word” (Sunday Times) and “the most delightful idyll one could imagine” (The New Yorker). With enduring love, impeccable accuracy, and incomparable humor, Durrell recounts... his family’s five-year stay (including his eldest brother Larry, or Lawrence Durrell - the future author of the famous “Alexandrian Quartet”) on the Greek island of Corfu. Both this novel and its sequels have sold millions of copies worldwide, becoming staple reads for several generations of readers, and in England, they have even been included in the school curriculum. The “Corfu Trilogy” has been adapted for television three times, with the most recent adaptation in 2016, when the British company ITV released the first season of the series “The Durrells,” one of the directors of which was Edward Hall (“Downton Abbey,” “Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple”).
