"My Family and Other Animals" is a "book that is captivating in the literal sense of the word" (Sunday Times) and "the most delightful idyll imaginable" (The New Yorker). With unwavering love, impeccable precision, and inimitable humor, Durrell recounts the five-year stay of his family (including his older brother Larry, that is, Lawrence Durrell — the future author of the famous "Alexandria Quartet") on the Greek island of Corfu. Both this novel and its sequels have spread around the world in millions of copies, becoming staple books for several generations of readers, and in England, they have even been included in the school curriculum. The "Corfu Trilogy" has been adapted for television three times, with the last adaptation occurring in 2016–2019, when the British company ITV released four seasons of the series "The Durrells," one of the directors of which was Edward Hall ("Downton Abbey", "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple"). The novel is published in a new complete translation by Sergey Task, whose translations of Tom Wolfe and John le Carré, Stephen King and Paul Auster, Ian McEwan, Richard Yates, and F. Scott Fitzgerald have already become classics.
