Ogród bogów. Trylogia z Korfu. Tom 3
„Ogród bogów” to zwieńczenie "Trylogii z Korfu" Geralda Durrella i opowieści o chyba najbardziej ekscentrycznej brytyjskiej rodzinie, którą mogliście poznać w „Mojej rodzinie i innych zwierzętach” oraz „Moich ptakach, zwierzakach i krewnych”. Raz jeszcze wyruszamy, by wspólnie z małym Gerrym odkrywać tajemnice tej greckiej wyspy. To nie tylko pełna uroku opowieść o przyrodniczej pasji i miłości do natury, ale przede wszystkim pogodny i pełen humoru portret nietuzinkowej rodziny – nieznośnych braci (z których jeden targany jest nieustannymi twórczymi kryzysami, a drugi obsesją na punkcie broni i łowiectwa), kochliwej siostry i wiecznie roztargnionej, zdecydowanie zbyt pobłażliwej dla tej całej czeredy, matki rodu. W toku barwnych perypetii i anegdot poznajemy zarówno członków rodziny, jak też prawdziwy korowód ekscentrycznych gości i sąsiadów, przenosimy się do domu, który przypomina zarazem pogrążoną w chaosie arkę Noego, jak i prawdziwie rajski ogród. Uwaga - czytanie tej książki może wywołać wybuchy niekontrolowanego śmiechu i niepohamowaną chęć wyruszenia na Korfu... Tytuł The Garden of the Gods Tł Ewa Horodyska

About the author
Gerald Durrell
228 books1,715 followersGerald "Gerry" Malcolm Durrell was born in India in 1925. His elder siblings are Lawrence Durrell, Leslie Durrell, and Margaret Durrell. His family settled on Corfu when Gerald was a boy and he spent his time studying its wildlife. He relates these experiences in the trilogy beginning with My Family And Other Animals, and continuing with Birds, Beasts, And Relatives and The Garden Of The Gods. In his books he writes with wry humour and great perception about both the humans and the animals he meets.
On leaving Corfu he returned to England to work on the staff of Whipsnade Park as a student keeper. His adventures there are told with characteristic energy in Beasts In My Belfry. A few years later, Gerald began organising his own animal-collecting expeditions. The first, to the Cameroons, was followed by expeditions to Paraguay, Argentina and Sierra Leone. He recounts these experiences in a number of books, including The Drunken Forest. Gerald also visited many countries while shooting various television series, including An Amateur Naturalist. In 1958 Gerald Durrell realised a lifelong dream when he set up the Jersey Zoological Park, followed a few years later by the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.
Gerald was married twice; Jacquie Durrell (1951-1979), Lee Durrell (1979-1995).
Gerald Durrell's style is exuberant, passionate and acutely observed. He died in 1995.
