«Viaje de un naturalista alrededor del mundo (Tomo I)» is Charles Darwin's travel work published by Akal in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
First volume of the travel diary in which Darwin recounts his expedition aboard HMS Beagle (1831-1836), with special attention to South America. Throughout the journey he describes landscapes, geological formations, fossils, fauna and flora, and advances observations that would later feed his theory on the origin of species.
First volume of Akal's two-volume edition. Original title: The Voyage of the Beagle (1839).
Recommended for readers interested in natural history, classic travel writing, and the development of evolutionary thought.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental scientific concept. In a joint presentation with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.
