520 1 "Charles Darwin's voyage on HMS Beagle is a gripping
adventure story, and a turning point in the making of the
modern world. Brought together here in chronological order,
the letters he wrote and received during his trip provide
a first-hand account of a voyage of discovery that was as
much personal as intellectual. We follow Darwin's
adventures as he prepares for his travels, lands on his
first tropical island, watches an earthquake level a city,
and learns how to catch ostriches from a running horse. We
witness slavery, political revolution, and epidemic
disease, and share the otherworldly experience of landing
on the Galapagos Islands and collecting specimens. His
letters are counterpoised by replies from family and
friends that record a comfortable, intimate world back in
England. Original watercolours by the ship's artist,
Conrad Martens, vividly bring to life Darwin's
descriptions of his travels."--BOOK JACKET.
