«Viaje al archipiélago malayo» is the travel chronicle by Alfred Russel Wallace, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (175 pages, in Spanish).
Alfred Russel Wallace narrates in this chronicle his expeditions through the Malay Archipelago, paying attention to both the human geography and the flora and fauna of the islands. He collected specimens of unknown species and studied ocean depths, observations that helped him establish the boundary between Asia and Oceania.
This edition includes a prologue by Nicolás Casariego. The work was originally published in English in 1869 under the title The Malay Archipelago.
For those who enjoy tales of exploration, natural history, and descriptions of societies and landscapes of Southeast Asia.
Alfred Russel Wallace was an English naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator. He independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection; his 1858 paper on the subject was published that year alongside extracts from Charles Darwin's writings on the topic. It spurred Darwin to set aside the "big species book" he was drafting and to quickly write an abstract of it, which was published in 1859 as On the Origin of Species.
