Valentina Stakhnova's profile

Children's chapter book / My Family and Other Animals

It is an autobiographical work, the author's memories of five years spent as a child in Corfu (Greece). On behalf of himself, Gerald Darrell is equally funny, colorful, and lovingly portrays 
his troubled mother, his eccentric brothers, his teenage sister, his faithful accomplice the dog Roger, as well as birds, animals, and insects of all shapes and sizes that gradually populate the house. Gerald Darrell tells about them all with such love that this love and curiosity is passed on to the reader.
Это автобиографическое произведение, воспоминания автора о пяти годах, проведенных в детстве на Корфу (Греция). От имени себя-десятилетнего Джеральд Даррелл одинаково смешно, красочно и с любовью описывает невозмутимую маму, эксцентричных братьев, сестру-подростка, своего верного сообщника пса Роджера, а также птиц, зверей и насекомых всех мастей и размеров, постепенно заселяющих дом. Джеральд Даррел с такой любовью рассказывает о них всех, что эти любовь и любознательность передаются и читателю.​​​​​​​
