En 'Atrápame ese mono', Gerald Durrell, reconocido por su trilogía de Corfú, nos presenta una colección de relatos que narran sus experiencias en el Zoo de Jersey a lo largo de siete años. El libro incluye desde viajes a Sierra Leona en busca de leopardos y colobos, hasta el complicado parto de una leona y la búsqueda del teporingo en México. Durrell comparte su talento para describir la vida animal y los paisajes, mientras aboga por la conservación de especies en peligro de extinción y el equilibrio biológico.
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.
