The Whispering Land by Gerald Durrell is an autobiographical account of his eight-month journey through Argentina in the late 1950s, collecting animals for his newly founded Jersey Zoo. The book is divided into two parts: the first follows Durrell and his companions as they explore Patagonia, observing penguins, seals, and guanacos; the second details his solo travels in the tropical province of Jujuy, where he acquires various animals, including parrots, an ocelot, and a pygmy owl. Durrells signature humor and vivid storytelling bring the landscapes and wildlife to life as he navigates challenges in his conservation efforts.
