A teoria da evolução das espécies é bastante conhecida, assim como o seu autor Charles Darwin. Sabemos a base de seu pensamento e trazemos na memória a imagem de sua figura de longas barbas brancas, feição austera e circunspecta. Mas não há nada como acompanhar, por meio deste livro, o dia a dia da grande aventura de descobertas que foi a viagem do também famoso navio Beagle, com sua incansável tripulação, que passou pelo Brasil, explorou extensas áreas da Patagônia, dos Pampas argentinos, a Terra do Fogo, o litoral da América do Sul e as ilhas Galápagos, assim como outras regiões e ilhas dos vastos oceanos, antes de retornar à Inglaterra. Nele encontramos um Darwin incrivelmente jovem, que tudo observa, registra, questiona, revelando uma necessidade de conhecimento admirável, portando modernos apetrechos tecnológicos para tudo avaliar. Um livro repleto de aventuras em cada passagem, em cada descoberta. Uma leitura agradável, que traz informações cientÃficas, históricas, geográficas e, para aqueles mais atentos, possivelmente o desenvolvimento intelectual e psicológico do jovem Darwin, uma abordagem distante daquela que normalmente estamos acostumados.
