Darwin Slept Here, A Journey Deep Into South America In The Footsteps Of Charles Darwin

Język: Angielski Okładka: Miękka Ilość stron: 258 Stan: Nowy Darwin Slept Here by Eric Simons follows the author's backpacking journey across South America, retracing Charles Darwin's Beagle voyage from Brazil through Patagonia, Chile, and Tierra del Fuego. Simons contrasts Darwin's 1830s diary entries—jungle awe, slavery horror, earthquake upheavals, iguana experiments—with modern bus rides, local encounters, and enduring landscapes, capturing both young explorers' wide-eyed wonder amid gauchos, glaciers, and Galápagos precursors.
