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.
