«Seis meses en Nueva Zelanda, Australia y Malasia» is Gerald Durrell's travel chronicle, published by Folio in hardback (251 pages, in Spanish).
Gerald Durrell recounts the chronicle of a six-month journey through New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia, undertaken to assess the conservation of animal species in those countries and because the BBC wanted to film a television series on the subject. He describes the fauna, landscapes and local cultures with his usual naturalist humour.
The work was originally published as «Two in the Bush» in 1966; this edition, with translation by Beatriz Bueno and Ramón Sala, belongs to the Biblioteca Viajero collection from ABC.
For readers interested in travel books, nature and animal conservation, as well as for followers of Gerald Durrell.
Gerald Malcolm Durrell was a British naturalist, writer, zookeeper, conservationist, and television presenter. He was born in Jamshedpur in British India, and moved to England when his father died in 1928. In 1935 the family moved to Corfu, and stayed there for four years, before the outbreak of World War II forced them to return to the UK. In 1946 he received an inheritance from his father's will that he used to fund animal-collecting trips to the British Cameroons and British Guiana. He married Jacquie Rasen in 1951; they had very little money, and she persuaded him to write an account of his first trip to the Cameroons. The result, titled The Overloaded Ark, sold well, and he began writing accounts of his other trips. An expedition to Argentina and Paraguay followed in 1953, and three years later he published My Family and Other Animals, which became a bestseller.
