David Attenborough first appeared in front of a television camera in the 1950s when, together with London Zoo''s Curator of Reptiles, Jack Lester, he persuaded the BBC to mount and film a joing animal-collecting expedition. The result was Zoo Quest. With its stunning photography, well-written scripts and David Attenborough''s now instantly-recognisable narration, the series was an instant success. This behind-the-scenes look at how the first programmes were made reveals moments of hardship on horseback, canoe and in a wreck of a jeep through swamp, desert and rainforest. Attenborough tells of danger on the crew’s hazardous boat trip with a gun-smuggling captain and the terror of erupting volcanoes. He also depicts for the listener some of the incredible sights he and his team witnessed - breathtaking butterflies, taking tea with Charlie the orang-utan and the the voyage to the little-known island of Komodo to capture the elusive Komodo Dragon. Specially recorded for audio, David Attenborough’s early adventures are sometimes life-threatening, often hilarious and always totally absorbing. The warmth and enthusiasm that have made him a broadcasting legend are instantly apparent here as he recounts this magical journey.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough, nascido em Londres em 1926, é o naturalista mais famoso do planeta, cuja carreira televisiva está agora na sétima década. Depois de estudar Ciências Naturais em Cambridge, foi trabalhar para a BBC em 1952 como produtor estagiário. Enquanto participava na série Zoo Quest (1954-64) teve a primeira oportunidade de realizar expedições a zonas remotas do globo, para captar imagens muito próximas da vida selvagem no seu habitat natural. Desempenhou as funções de diretor da BBC2 (1965-68) e de diretor de programação da BBC (1969-72), mas abandonou a administração em 1973 para regressar à criação de programas, tendo escrito e apresentado uma série em treze episódios, A Vida na Terra (1979), que traçava a história evolutiva de animais e plantas. A esta seguiram-se muitas outras séries de grande êxito, como Planeta Vivo (1984), Os Desafios da Vida (1990), A Vida Privada das Plantas (1995), Planeta Azul (2001), Planeta Terra (2006) e Planeta Terra II (2016), e o documentário Uma Vida no Nosso Planeta (2020), que analisam todos os aspetos da vida no planeta. Aventuras de um Jovem Naturalista e o seu testemunho e visão para o futuro, Uma Vida no Nosso Planeta, foram publicados pela Temas e Debates.
