El Origen de las especies. Charles Darwin Inglaterra 1809 - 1882"

Dans cet ouvrage de Charles Darwin, publie le 24 novembre 1859, Charles Darwin explique le mecanisme presidant, selon lui, a l'evolution graduelle des especes vivantes dans la nature. Malgre son titre, cet ouvrage est considere aujourd'hui comme fondateur de la theorie de l'evolution moderne. Darwin mentionne differents predecesseurs, a la fois concernant l'idee de descendance avec modification et l'idee de selection naturelle."

The daring and restless mind, the integrity and simplicity of Darwin's character are revealed in this direct and personal account of his life-his family, his education, his explorations of the natural world, his religion and philosophy.

Although in some respects more technical in their subjects and style thanDarwin's "Journal," the books here reprinted will never lose their valueand interest for the originality of the observations they contain. Manyparts of them are admirably adapted for giving an insight into problemsregarding the structure and changes of the earth's surface, and in factthey form a charming introduction to physical geology and physiography intheir application to special domains.

The Origin is one of those books whose controversial reputation ensures that many who have never read it nevertheless have an opinion about it. Jim Endersby's major scholarly edition debunks some of the myths that surround Darwin's book, while providing a...

Un editor aleman me escribio pidiendome un informe sobre la evolucion de mi mente y mi caracter escribe Darwin, junto con un esbozo autobiografico, y pense que el intento podria entretenerme y resultar, quiza, interesante para mis hijos o para mis nietos."
