Emthunzini kababa, umama, noma umzalwane owaziwa kunoma yimuphi ubuciko noma ukusebenza, abanye bavame ukuchuma okuhambisana nomsebenzi kathishanhloko, walowo ophethe ubuhlakani obuningi kunoma yisiphi isidingo.
Kodwa endabeni yabazalwane bakwaDurrell kunzima ukuhlukanisa (uma kudingekile) ukuthi ubani owayengumbhali ovelele futhi owakhulela emthunzini. Kungani kangaka ULawrence Durrell njengoba UGerald durrell bangababhali abaziwayo abasindile kuze kube namuhla.
Uma kuwukuhlukanisa, singakhomba ngokucacile umsebenzi kaGerald njengoba ugxile ngokuphelele emhlabeni wezilwane ngephuzu elicacile lezincwadi zentsha. Cishe njalo ngephuzu le-autobiographical elidlulisela ezwini lakhe lomuntu wokuqala ukukholelwa okugcwele kwesilwane njengezwe elithakazelisayo.
Kepha kungukuthi kusuka kwisici sakhe sendatshana kuye kumanoveli akhe kuvela inhloso yokwenza isilwane sibe ngesakho. Umzamo okhombisa ukuthanda kwakhe imvelo nokuzinikela kwakhe. Futhi-ke ugcina esengumbalisi.
Amanoveli anconyiwe aphezulu kaGerald Durrell
Umndeni wami nezinye izilwane
Amahlaya we-streak ahambisa ithemba elidingekayo naphezu kwakho konke. Ngoba isazi semvelo njengoDurrell wayevame ukushaqeka ohambweni lwakhe oluningi emhlabeni. Kepha izincwadi zingenye into, futhi ukulinganisa ibhalansi phakathi komuntu nesilwane.
Isitayela sokuqala sokulandisa se- UGerald durrell, inhlanganisela yezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene, njengesithombe sabantu nezindawo, umlando wezindaba zabantu kanye nendaba ehlekisayo, ichaza impumelelo enkulu etholakale ngosuku lokushicilelwa kwalo ngumndeni wami nezinye izilwane.
Umndeni wakwaDurrell, ugula futhi ucindezelekile ngenxa yesimo sezulu esingajabulisi eNgilandi, unquma ukuya esiqhingini saseGrisi iCorfu. UGerald omncane, umthandi omkhulu wemvelo, usitshela ngohambo lwakhe azungeze lesi siqhingi, efunda ngezilwane zomdabu futhi eqoqa izinhlobo ezintsha zeqoqo lakhe. Ngasikhathi sinye, usitshela ngezimo ezahlukahlukene nezihlekisayo lapho umndeni wakhe ubandakanyeka khona.
Abathumbi Bembongolo
Izimbangela ezilahlekile zithola ubukhulu bazo bangempela bezimbangela ezidingekayo ebusheni. Ngoba yilabo kanye abasiqinisekisayo ngokungabi nanzuzo kwezimbangela abanesithakazelo esikhulu ekuyekeni kwethu. Lezi zinhlobo zezindaba zivuselela kubafundi abasebasha izincwadi zefa ezidingekayo, amamotho kanye nokushayela kwabantu abadala. Ngokufaka yonke into ngamahlaya, udaba luhlala lulula kanye nokuqwashisa.
UDavid no-Amanda bachitha ihlobo emzaneni osesiqhingini esincane saseGrisi, lapho umngani wabo uYani, oyintandane, esezolahlekelwa ngumuzi wakhe namasimu akhe. Laba bangane abathathu, benza izivivinyo futhi babona ukuthi izimbongolo ziyabhukuda, ngakho-ke babehlala beya esiqhingini esishiyiwe esabizwa yiHesperides, futhi banquma ukuthi ngobunye ubusuku, bazohamba nezimbongolo bazise eHesperides, futhi njengoba idolobha lizokuwa, kungahle kube kunganikeza uYani isikhathi esithe xaxa sokuthola imali. Ngobuhlakani obukhulu nangobuqili kuphela lapho lezi zinsizwa ezintathu zizokwazi ukumelana nokungabi nabulungisa.
I-zoo ephahleni lwami
Incwadi eyingqayizivele kakhulu yalokhu kukhethwa. Umsebenzi lapho sithola khona i-naturist nomsebenzi wakhe. Umfana ogcwele amandla amahle lo Gerald Durrell owudlulisa kusuka ku-anecdote ongagcwalisa amakhasi namakhasi aleyo ncwadi aphile futhi ahambise.
I-zoo ephahleni lwami ilandisa ngokuhlangenwe nakho okwenziwa yisazi semvelo ngaleso sikhathi e-Whipsnade Country Zoo. Ilandiswe ngobumnandi nangamahlaya angenakulinganiswa afaka isitayela sombhali, izigemegeme eziningi eziqoqwe lapha, izinkanyezi ezinamabhubesi, amahlosi, amabhere amhlophe, amadube, inkonkoni nezinye izilwane eziningi, kuphawule okwakuzoba yisinqumo ekuqeqeshweni kwakhe.
