Las cartas del Beagle
El libro reúne, en orden cronológico, la colección completa de las cartas que Darwin envió y recibió durante su viaje a bordo del Beagle entre 1831 y 1836, durante el cual realizó muchas de las observaciones que perfilaron su teoría de la evolución de las especies a través de la selección natural. El intercambio epistolar muestra cómo la familia y amigos presenciaban, desde Inglaterra, el acopio de experiencias y materiales que lo ayudarían a sustentar dicha teoría, así como el encuentro con otras culturas y formas de vida. Todo ello acompañado de las ilustraciones de Conrad Martens, el paisajista que se unió a la travesía en 1833, durante el paso del navío por Montevideo.

About the author
Charles Darwin
2,422 books3,474 followersCharles Robert Darwin of Britain revolutionized the study of biology with his theory, based on natural selection; his most famous works include
On the Origin of Species
(1859) and
The Descent of Man
(1871).
Chiefly Asa Gray of America advocated his theories.
Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).
Charles Robert Darwin, an eminent English collector and geologist, proposed and provided scientific evidence of common ancestors for all life over time through the process that he called. The scientific community and the public in his lifetime accepted the facts that occur and then in the 1930s widely came to see the primary explanation of the process that now forms modernity. In modified form, the foundational scientific discovery of Darwin provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.
Darwin developed his interest in history and medicine at Edinburgh University and then theology at Cambridge. His five-year voyage on the Beagle established him as a geologist, whose observations and supported uniformitarian ideas of Charles Lyell, and publication of his journal made him as a popular author. Darwin collected wildlife and fossils on the voyage, but their geographical distribution puzzled him, who investigated the transmutation and conceived idea in 1838. He discussed his ideas but needed time for extensive research despite priority of geology. He wrote in 1858, when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay, which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication.
His book of 1859 commonly established the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He examined human sexuality in Selection in Relation to Sex , and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals followed. A series of books published his research on plants, and he finally examined effect of earthworms on soil.
A state funeral recognized Darwin in recognition of preeminence and only four other non-royal personages of the United Kingdom of the 19th century; people buried his body in Westminster abbey, close to those of John Herschel and Isaac Newton.
Her fathered Francis Darwin, astronomer George Darwin, and politician, economist and eugenicist Leonard Darwin.

Personal and intriguing insight into Darwin's mind and personality. The letters to and from friends and family show many sides of Darwins interests, concerns and discoveries. It humanises Darwin and makes you realise he was a young man in his early twenties with all the insecurities, concerns, curiosity and questions that we all have. Highly recommend!

Big spoiler : his letter to his sister from the Galapagos is lost.

Es un magnífco libro para quienes deseen tener una visión más detallada e íntima de la vida del naturalista a bordo del Beagle. Incluye un excelente prólogo de Janet Brown. La correspondencia de Darwin, desde antes de embarcarse en el Beagle se alterna cronológicamente con la de su familia, amigos y maestros, lo que otorga un sentido de continuidad a su extenso viaje. Muy interesante.
