"My Family and Other Animals" is "a book that is literally mesmerizing" (Sunday Times) and "the most delightful idyll imaginable" (The New Yorker). With unfailing love, impeccable accuracy and inimitable humor, Darrell tells about the five—year stay of his family (including his older brother Larry, that is, Lawrence Darrell, the future author of the famous "Alexandrian Quartet") on the Greek island of Corfu. Both this novel and its sequels have sold millions of copies around the world, have become board books for several generations of readers, and even entered the school curriculum in England. The "Corfu Trilogy" was transferred to the TV screen three times, the last time in 2016-2019, when the British company ITV released four seasons of the series "The Darrells", co-directed by Edward Hall ("Downton Abbey", "Miss Marple Agatha Christie"). The novel is published in a full translation by Sergey Task, whose translations by Tom Wolfe and John Le Carré, Stephen King and Paul Auster, Ian McEwan, Richard Yeats and Francis Scott Fitzgerald have already become classics.
