  • Bosketto Durrell” and the Unveiling of a Plaque Commemorating the Brothers Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) and Gerald Durrell (1925-1995)
    Durrell School of Corfu Κερκυραικος Συνδεσµος Νταρελ ___________________________________________________________________________ 11 Filellinon Street, 49-100 Corfu, Greece Tel/Fax 30-26610-21326 e-mail [email protected] www.durrell-school-corfu.org PRESS INFORMATION The Durrell School of Corfu is pleased to announce its participation in the naming of the Corfu Bosketto as “Bosketto Durrell” and the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the brothers Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) and Gerald Durrell (1925-1995). The plaque celebrates the fact that Lawrence Durrell and Gerald Durrell were “writers and Philhellenes”, and that they lived in Corfu 1935-1939. Lawrence Durrell was one of the most influential novelists of the twentieth century. In addition to being a significant poet, dramatist and travel writer, he wrote The Alexandria Quartet (1957- 60) which changed the direction of the modern novel, The Avignon Quintet (1974-85) which achieved a synthesis of western narrative style and eastern philosophy, and his personal evocation of Corfu, Prospero’s Cell (1945). Gerald Durrell was the founder of the Jersey Zoological Park (1959) and became one of the world’s leading experts and activists in the breeding of animals in danger of extinction in their natural habitat. A humorous and persuasive writer and broadcaster, he popularised his work with books such as A Zoo in my Luggage (1960). His own accounts of growing up in Corfu include The Garden of the Gods (1978) and the world-famous best-seller My Family and Other Animals (1956). Their books – and, in the case of My Family and Other Animals which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2006, in two films of the book by the BBC, in 1989 and 2005 – contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the island of Corfu and to the development of the Corfiot tourist industry.

    Gerald Durrell 1 Gerald Durrell Gerald M. Durrell Born 7 January 1925 Jamshedpur, India Died 30 January 1995 (aged 70) Saint Helier, Jersey Cause of death Septicaemia Known for Founder of Jersey Zoo, author, television presenter, conservationist Spouse(s) Jacquie Durrell (married 1951-1979), Lee Durrell (married 1979) Parents Lawrence Samuel Durrell and Louisa Dixie Durrell Family Lawrence (brother), Margaret (sister), Leslie (brother) Gerald "Gerry" Malcolm Durrell, OBE (7 January 1925 – 30 January 1995) was an English naturalist, zookeeper, conservationist, author and television presenter. He founded what is now called the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Jersey Zoo (now Durrell Wildlife Park) on the Channel Island of Jersey in 1958, but is perhaps best remembered for writing a number of books based on his life as an animal collector and enthusiast. He was the youngest brother of the novelist Lawrence Durrell. Early life and education Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India on 7 January 1925. He was the fourth surviving and final child of Louisa Florence Dixie and Lawrence Samuel Durrell, both of whom were born in India of English and Irish descent. Durrell's father was a British engineer and as was commonplace and befitting family status, the infant Durrell spent most of his time in the company of an ayah (nursemaid). Durrell reportedly recalled his first visit to a zoo in India and attributed his lifelong love of animals to that encounter. The family moved to England after the death of his father in 1928 and settled in the Upper Norwood - Crystal Palace area of South London.

  • TARS Library Catalogue
    TARS Library The main purpose of TARS is 'to celebrate and promote the life and woks of Arthur Ransome', and a big part of that is the Society's own Library, with over 1000 books and other material. There are books written about his life, including the time he spent in Russia, reporting about events during the Revolution, and about his early life and how he came to be a writer in the first place. Ransome was the very first winner of the Carnegie Medal awarded by the Library Association (now CILIP) for an outstanding children's book, with Pigeon Post in 1937. The Medal is still presented every year, and we have every single winning book, right up to the present: almost a unique collection. We also have many other children's books, old and new, as well as the Swallows and Amazons series in several different languages. Arthur Ransome had so many interests and he owned books on all of them, and the Library has books on all of those subjects too – sailing, of course, fishing, natural history, crime novels, books by his favourite authors, such as Robert Louis Stevenson (a complete collection of his works) the Lake District, the Norfolk Broads, and even chess! Truly something for everyone, so why not take a look at the complete list here? Then, when you have joined TARS, there are a number of ways you can borrow a book: by e-mailing or writing to the Librarian and having it posted to you – you only need pay the return postage; by visiting the wonderful Moat Brae, home of Peter Pan, in Dumfries and arranging to see the actual Library there; or by attending the no less wonderful Literary Weekends, once every 2 years (next in 2021), where there is always a wide selection of books from the Library to browse.

  • 2016 Summer Grant Report Mary Sanders Pollock, Professor of English [email protected] September 15, 2016
    2016 Summer Grant Report Mary Sanders Pollock, Professor of English [email protected] September 15, 2016 a. Project title: Gerald Durrell: A New Biography b. Stated Goals: “During the summer grant period of 2016, I will write the first two chapters (outlined below) of a biography of Gerald Durrell (1925-95), an internationally respected conservationist and the author of more than thirty books--travel writing, memoir, environmental writing, and fiction.” [First chapter devoted to Gerald Durrell’s childhood on the Greek island of Corfu, second chapter to his teenage years in London during World War II.] c. Progress toward stated goals [results attached in Appendix]: I completed the second chapter and part of the third chapter. I produced the amount of work projected, but in a different form. Because my research travel to Corfu had to be delayed until 2017, I felt ill equipped to write about it. Instead of writing the first chapter, I began with the second chapter, a more thorough and detailed examination of Durrell’s London years than I anticipated because there were more primary materials and relevant theoretical work that I had not discovered when I wrote the grant application. As a result, this chapter is longer than originally planned. In addition, I wrote a section of the third chapter. The most significant work (and least visible) on the project absorbed my attention in May and June. After submitting the grant application, as I was writing a conference paper on a related topic (“Islomania, Island Biogeography, and the Durrell Literary Imagination”), it became clear to me that more grounding in cosmopolitan theory, as well as studies in immigration, exile, and refugee status would deepen and refine my initial assumptions about Gerald Durrell.
