When the Beagle left Devonport harbor on December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin, at the age of two, embarked on the journey that would define the course of his life. During the five-year journey he changed from a rather weak-willed young man into an enthusiastic scientist and his observations led to the reflections that culminated in The Origin of Species.
The famous account of his journey can be read as an exciting travel story.
'The Voyage of the Beagle is a delightful travel book. It describes the most important journey ever made. The resulting work has changed our ideas about time, space, sex, chance and nature. And it has freed us from God.” – Redmond O'Hanlon
'His travelogue makes us know the young Darwin as an exceptionally intelligent observer.' – de Volkskrant
