UNC\' BILLY POSSUM IS CAUGHT THE Green Meadows were thrown into great excitement late one afternoon, just as the black shadows came creeping down from the Purple Hills. Reddy Fox brought the news, and when he told it he grinned as if he enjoyed it and was glad of it. "Old Billy Possum is dead. I know it because I saw Farmer Brown\'s boy carrying him home by the tail," said Reddy. "So you see he wasn\'t so smart as you thought he was," he added maliciously. No one really believed Reddy Fox, for every one knows that he seldom tells the truth, but when Jimmy Skunk came mournfully down the Crooked Little Path and said that it was true, they had to believe it. Then everybody began to talk about Unc\' Billy and say nice things about him and tell how much they had enjoyed having him live in the Green Forest since he came up from "Ol\' Virginny." That is, everybody but Reddy Fox said so. Reddy said that it served Unc\' Billy right, because he was of no account, anyway. Then everybody began to hoot and hiss at Reddy until he was glad enough to slink away. And while they were all saying such nice things about him, Unc\' Billy Possum was having an exciting adventure. For once he had been too bold. He had gone up to Farmer Brown\'s hen-house before dark. Jimmy Skunk had tried to stop him, but he had heeded Jimmy Skunk not at all. He had said that he was hungry and wanted an egg, and he couldn\'t wait till dark to get it. So off he had started, for Unc\' Billy Possum is very headstrong and obstinate. He had reached the hen-house and slipped inside without being seen. The nests were full of eggs, and soon Unc\' Billy was enjoying his feast so that he forgot to keep watch. Suddenly the door opened, and in stepped Farmer Brown\'s boy to get some eggs for supper. There was no time to run. Unc\' Billy just dropped right down in his tracks as if he were dead. When Farmer Brown\'s boy saw him, he didn\'t know what to make of him, for he had never seen Unc\' Billy before. "Well, well, I wonder what happened to this fellow," said Farmer Brown\'s boy, turning Unc\' Billy over with the toe of one foot. "He certainly is dead enough, whatever killed him. I wonder what he was doing in here." Then he saw some egg on Unc\' Billy\'s lips. "Ho! ho!" shouted Farmer Brown\'s boy. "So you are the thief who has been getting my eggs!" And picking up Unc\' Billy by the tail, he started with him for the house. As they passed the woodpile, he tossed Unc\' Billy on the chopping-block while he gathered an armful of kindlings to take to the house. When he turned to pick up Unc\' Billy again, Unc\' Billy wasn\'t there. Farmer Brown\'s boy dropped his wood and hunted everywhere, but not a trace of Unc\' Billy could he find. II REDDY FOX THINKS HE SEES A GHOST REDDY FOX came down the Lone Little Path through the Green Forest on his way to the Green Meadows. He had brushed his red coat until it shone. His white waistcoat was spotless, and he carried his big tail high in the air, that it might not become soiled. Reddy was feeling as fine as he looked....

Alla fine degli anni Ottanta Gerald Durrell intraprende una spedizione in Madagascar per catturare qualche esemplare di aye-aye, un lemure caratteristico della zona, e garantirne la riproduzione: «Lasciare che un essere così sorprendente e complesso si estingua è impensabile quanto bruciare un Rembrandt, trasformare la Cappella Sistina in una discoteca...». Giunto nell’isola, che gli appare come il profilo di una omelette mal rivoltata, Durrell si mette subito sulle tracce dei misteriosi lemuri. E dopo una visita al mercato locale, dove, sotto gli ombrelloni bianchi fitti come un campo di funghi, sono appesi polli simili a piumini viventi, salva il primo esemplare, altrimenti destinato alle pentole di un’abile massaia indigena. Con il suo incantevole humour, Durrell sa trasformare ogni aspetto dell’indagine scientifica in avventura, in racconto: anche lo studio del vocabolario dei lemuri, con i loro «pop», i miagolii e le fusa gattesche, gli uggiolii canini e i ringhi da tigre. I protagonisti sono sempre gli animali, osservati con occhio ironico e ammirato: flemmatiche oche egiziane in completo di tweed, pappagalli sfavillanti come bigiotteria a buon mercato, felini che paiono incarnare la versione malgascia della Pantera Rosa. E lo stesso occhio amabile e divertito si posa sugli umani, descritti in un compulsivo shopping natalizio tra bancarelle di scimmie infiocchettate e maialini multicolori. Io e i lemuri è apparso per la prima volta nel 1992.

For more than fifty years, Wendell Berry has been telling us stories about Port William, a mythical town on the banks of the Kentucky River, populated over the years by a cast of unforgettable characters living in a single place over a long time. In this new collection, the author's first piece of new fiction since the publication of Andy Catlett in 2006, the stories date's range from 1864, when Rebecca Dawe finds herself in her own reflection at the end of the Civil War, to one from 1991 when Grover Gibbs' widow, Beulah, attends the auction as her home place is offered for sale. It feels as if the entire membership, all the Catletts, Burley Coulter, Elton Penn, the Rowanberrys, Laura Milby, the preacher's wife, Kate Helen Branch, Andy's dog, Mike, nearly everyone returns with a story or two, to fill in the gaps in this long tale. Those just now joining the Membership will be charmed. Those who've attended before will be enriched. The story of the community of Port William is one of the great works in American literature. Published in the author's 78th year, this collection, the tenth volume in the series, is the perfect occasion to celebrate his huge achievement. "And so it's all gone. A new time has come. Various ones of the old time keep faith and stop by to see me, Coulter and Wilma and a few others. But the one I wait to see is Althie. Seems like my whole life now is lived under the feeling of her hand touching me that day of the sale, and every day still. I lie awake in the night, and I can see it all in my mind, th old place, the house, all the things I took care of so long. I thought I might miss it, but I don't. The time has gone when I oculd do more than worry about it, and I declare it's a load off my mind. But the thoughts, still, are a kind of company." -- Beulah Gibbs
