“My Family and Other Animals” is “a book that literally fascinates me” (Sunday Times) and “the most delightful idyll imaginable” (The New Yorker) With unfailing love, impeccable accuracy and inimitable humor, Darrell tells about the five-year stay of his family (including his older brother Larry, that is, Lawrence Darrell - 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 around the world, have become desktop books for several generations of readers, and in England even entered the school curriculum. “The Corfu Trilogy” was moved to the TV screen three times, most recently in 2016, when the British company ITV released the first season of the series “Darrells”, one of the directors of which was Edward Hall (“Downton Abbey”, “Miss Marple Agatha Christie”) The novel is published in a new (and first-ever) translation by Sergey Task, whose translations by Tom Wolfe and John Le Carré, Stephen King and Paul Oster, Ian McEwan, Richard Yates and Francis Scott Fitzgerald have already become classics.
