Description:
One fine morning in October 2005 Charles Darwin is taken from his current home in Westminster and repeats with Luca Novelli and his friends the extraordinary journey made 170 years ago. For this occasion Darwin is young again. He's only 22 years, as when he had been invited for the first time aboard the Beagle with Captain Fitzroy. So Charles Darwin see again the places of his first trip. He makes comparisons inevitable. He realizes that many things have changed, but with some humor gives us lessons of modesty and civility. This first volume of Charles Darwin / Second Voyage Around the World, recounts the stages between Cape Verde and Tierra del Fuego, riding in the Pampas and Patagonia, between Buenos Aires and the Beagle Channel. Darwin sees again guanacos and sea lions, mountains and glaciers, but he visits new towns and protected areas as well. He understands the problems caused by deforestation and biodiversity loss. To achieve this three-volume series Novelli and its collaborators, between 2005 and 2008, have repeated the most important stages of the journey to Darwin around the world. Each book contains a list of museums and nature parks visited. http://www.darwin2.org
