Darwin's trip on board of the HMS Beagle around the world was much more than just a trip. Characters are brought to life in this book. Their wishes and fears explain not only why the Theory of Evolution took so long to be published but also how and why the Patagonia was divided between Argentina and Chile. The more than 40 illustrations help "visualize" the world and the people of those days. The main characters are: Charles Darwin, Robert FitzRoy, John Lort Stokes and Argentine naturalist Francisco (Perito) Moreno
