About this book

Language: German

Die Fahrt der Beagle is Darwin's fascinating account of his groundbreaking sea voyage that led to his writing On the Origin of Species

When the HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin was only twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal reveals him to be a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology and natural history as well as people, places, and events. He witnessed and visited volcanoes in the Galapagos, saw the Gossamer spider of Patagonia, sailed through the Australasian coral reefs, and recorded the brilliance of the firefly – these recollections are found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made on the five-year voyage set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the most controversial book of the Victorian age: On the Origin of Species. An introduction on the background to Darwin's work, as well as notes, maps, appendices, and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy, Darwin's friend and captain of the Beagle, provide context for this incredible story.

Die Fahrt der Beagle is the first fully illustrated edition of Darwin's journal and includes excerpts of On the Origin of Species so the reader can connect the author's journey with his discovery that made him famous.

Summary in German:
Charles Darwin begann seine Reise mit der Beagle im Dezember 1831 mit 22 Jahren. Die Aufzeichnung seiner fünfjährigen Fahrt, die er nach seiner Rückkehr veröffentlichte, gehört zu den wichtigsten und berühmtesten Reisebeschreibungen überhaupt. Sie festigte seinen Ruf als Wissenschaftler und war die Quelle für seine berühmteste und umstrittenste Arbeit ›Die Entstehung der Arten‹. Diese revolutionierte unser gesamtes Weltbild und machte ihn zu einem der wichtigsten Gelehrten aller Zeiten.

Auf über 350 historischen und modernen Illustrationen, Fotos und Karten zeigt diese erste durchgehend illustrierte Ausgabe seines klassischen Textes die Menschen, Orte und Arten, über die Darwin während seiner Expedition schrieb. Daneben enthält dieser prächtige Band ausgewählte Texte aus ›Die Entstehung der Arten‹ und aus anderen zeitgenössischen Texten. So lässt das Buch die Welt Darwins lebendig werden und nimmt den Leser mit an Bord der HMS Beagle.
