About this product

Product Information

The Voyage of the Beagle is Charles Darwin's account of the momentous voyage which set in motion the current of intellectual events leading to The Origin of Species. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Janet Brown and Michael Neve.When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal, here reprinted in a shortened form, shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology, natural history, people, places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos, the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the theory of evolution, and the most controversial book of the Victorian age- The Origin of Species.This volume reprints Charles Darwin's journal in a shortened form. In their introduction Janet Brown and Michael Neve provide a background to Darwin's thought and work, and this edition also includes notes, maps, appendices and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy, Darwin's friend and Captain of the Beagle.If you enjoyed The Voyage of the Beagle, you might enjoy Darwin's On the Origin of Species, also available in Penguin Classics.

  • The Voyage Of The Beagle - Charles Darwin

    This is a landmark book – Darwin’s edited and abridged journal of his travels around the world in the ship Beagle – the voyage that influenced him greatly in forming the theory of evolution. Naturally, if you expect a “aha, evolution” chapter, you’ll be disappointed. The theory itself was formed by Darwin long after the voyage – but in his writing you can see signs of first understanding that could lead to its formation. It’s important to keep in mind (and is obvious from the reading) that “The Voyage” is an important scientific work in itself. Even without playing the role in the formation of the theory of evolution, this book must have advanced a few sciences forward – botany, zoology and geology – since Darwin went into places no such scientist went before, and documented his findings ...

  • A great read - will leave you to dream about freedom and discovery.

    Please read this! An inspiration for all of us who have wanted to travel but never dared. Apart from being an amazing naturalist, Darwin writes a good diary - factual but also funny and insightful.
