Have you read any of Gerald Durrell's books? If so, which was your favorite? I particularly love Birds, Beasts, and Other Relatives.
I think I have read almost all of them! I absolutely adored the Durrell books as a kid. I started trying to read them too young, and started with A Zoo in My Luggage, which was a bad place to start. My Family and Other Animals is probably the best place for anyone to start with them, though I personally prefer the more collection-focused books. Unfortunately, a lot of the books haven't aged particularly well in terms of sensibilities. I think some of my favourites were The Bafut Beagles, Beasts in my Belfry, The Whispering Land, and The Drunken Forest, but I haven't re-read them in years, and I am not sure how I would rank them now.

Perhaps our only sickness is to desire a truth which we cannot bear rather than to rest content with the fictions we manufacture out of each other.

Wenn ich zwischen allen Persönlichkeiten zu allen Zeiten wählen durfte, dann wären Persönlichkeit und Ort schnell klar: Lawrence Durrell auf der Terrasse des White House in Kalámi auf Korfu! Wo dieses Bild entstand – allerdings acht Jahrzehnte zu spät!

THE DURRELLS (2016-2019)

In that warm light the faces of my friends lived and glowed….Freya Stark…Sir Harry Luke…Patrick Leigh Fermor and the Corn Godess, who always arrive when I am on an island, unannounced and whose luggage has always been left at the airport (‘But we’ve brought the wine-the most important thing’)....After a splendid dinner by the fire he starts singing, songs of Crete, Athens, Macedonia. When I go out to refill the ouzo bottle at the little tavern across the way I find the street completely filled with people listening in utter silence and darkness. Everyone seems struck dumb. ‘What is it?’ I say, catching sight of Frangos. ‘Never have I heard of Englishmen singing Greek songs like this!’ Their reverent amazement is touching; it is as if they want to embrace Paddy wherever he goes.
- Lawrence Durrell, Bitter Lemons
Lawrence Durrell and Patrick Leigh Fermor first met while stationed in Cairo in 1942 during the Second World War.  A shared appreciation for good talk, good wine, and Greek culture made the two men fast friends for life, and Durrell came to relish the many subsequent visits from Paddy and Joan Leigh Fermor.  At the Villa Cleobolus on Rhodes, at Bellapaix on Cyprus, and later, at the Mazet Michel - no matter what new address Durrell had taken, he could always look forward to his old friend’s sudden materialisation on his doorstep.
For Paddy Leigh Fermor, the mercurial Larry Durrell proved to be an essential element of Mediterranean life.  He was, Paddy said, “a man who pumped the oxygen back into the air.”
