About the book: 2022 / "Garden of the Gods" is a continuation of the novels "My Family and Other Animals" - "a book that is literally mesmerizing" (Sunday Times ) and “the most delightful idyll imaginable” (The New Yorker) and “Birds, Beasts and Relatives”, as well as the collection “Holidays, Beasts and Other Absurdities”. With unfailing love, impeccable accuracy and inimitable humor, Durrell talks about 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. These novels and collections sold millions of copies around the world, became reference books for several generations of readers, and in England were even included in the school curriculum. The “Corfu Trilogy” (over time expanded to six books) was transferred to television three times, the last time in 2016–2019, when the British company ITV released the series “The Durrells” (in four seasons), one of which was directed by Edward Hall (Downton Abbey, Agatha Christie's Miss Marple). The novel is published in a new translation by Sergei Tusk, whose translations include Tom Wolfe and John Le Carré, Stephen King and Paul Auster, Ian McEwan, Richard Yates and Francis Scott Fitzgerald have already become classics.
