Gerald Darrell (1925-1995) is the famous English zoologist and traveler, one of the cult figures of the twentieth century. Darrell"s books have long been a gold fund of world literature and are very popular among readers around the world.
In the works that were included in this book ("Three tickets to Edvencher", "under the canopy of a drunken forest"), Darrell"s travels to South America are told. There, the Great Boltsov and his team were engaged in the search for rare animals and birds. According to Darrell, there is an erroneous opinion that the capture of animals in the profession of Zverekolov is the most difficult. But in reality, the real work begins when the animal has already been caught. Provide the beasts with proper nutrition, and most importantly, to deliver them to the zoo is often a very difficult task. However, Darrell never hid the fact that for the sake of his favorite business - sometimes dangerous and troublesome, but never boring - he was ready to take risks and undergo all kinds of inconvenience.
About his impressions of South America, its fantastic nature, about meetings with new animals, their habits, funny and sometimes very touching communication with them, the author writes with unchanging love, impeccable accuracy and inimitable humor.
The publication contains illustrations of the famous British artist Ralph Thompson
