Die eigentliche Profession des Briten Douglas Adams ist das Verfassen von Kultb?chern aus der Science-fiction-Ecke spa?ig-hintergr?ndige Weltraumodyssee hat ihm eine weltweite, treue Fangemeinde beschert. Die Expedition, die er hier zusammen mit dem Zoologen Mark Carwardine beschreibt, ist keine Fiktion, und ihr Hintergrund ist durchaus ernst: Es ist eine Reise um die ganze Welt zu den aussterbenden Tierarten unserer Erde. Aber so ernst das Thema auch ist, in Douglas Adams' spritziger Feder wird es zum vergn?glichen Lesestoff. Egal, ob es zu den letzten 20 wei?en Nash?rnern in Zaire geht, zu den Kakapos, den gr??...

D?ERALDS DARELSMANA ?IMENE UN CITI ZV?RI«Mana ?imene un citi zv?ri» ir viens no agr?najiem ?? iev?rojam? ang?u zoologa un rakstnieka anim?lista darbiem. Taj? st?st?ts par autora b?rn?bu, par vair?kiem Grie?ij?, Korfu sal?, pavad?tiem gadiem, kad z?n? mostas m?lest?ba pret dabu, pret visu dz?vo rad?bu, redzams, k? no vi?a pamaz?m veidojas nopietns dabas p?tnieks, zin?tnieks zoologs. Ta?u gr?mata nav vienk?r?s autobiogr?fisks v?st?jums. ?oti liela ir t?s izzino?? v?rt?ba. Autors atkl?j las?t?jam savdab?gu pasauli, kas pavir?a v?rot?ja ac?m pasl?d gar?m nepaman?ta, un past?sta par to daudz interesanta.Gr?mata uzrakst?ta saisto?i, ar D?eraldam Darelam rakstur?go br?ni???go humoru, un to ar aizraut?bu las?s ne tikvien biolo?ijas zin?t?u speci?listi, bet ikviens dabas draugs.
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.

In this book, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives; of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom; of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her; of primitive festivals; of big game that were her near neighbors—lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes—and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.

Rosy, the elephant bequeathed to young Adrian Rookwhistle by a reprobate relative, turns out to be a handful; not only because of her size but also because of her fondness for strong drink. To Adrian she represents the chance to get away from a city shop and a suburban lodging by exploiting her theatrical talent and experience. To Rosy their progress towards the gayer South Coast resorts offers undreamed-of opportunities for drink and destruction.So the Monkspepper Hunt is driven to delirium and Lady Fenneltree’s stately home reduced to a shambles. In due course the constabulary catches up with the pair, whose ensuing trial is a triumph of the law and of Rosy’s enormous charm. The verdict is—but then the story has to be read to be believed, if then.In spite of all this the author firmly maintains that his first novel is entirely credible, further that it is “an almost true story”!
