The Life & Letters of Charles Darwin

In 1897. Part Two of Two Includes a Chapter on Autobiography. Darwin the British naturalist, who became famous for his evolutionary theories and natural selection. Darwin's letters provide a fascinating window into his daily life. His son writes in the preface: I was largely guided by the wish to illustrate my father's personal character in choosing letters for publication. But his life was so essentially one of work, that it was impossible to write a man's history without closely following the author's career. So it comes down to the fact that the book's chief part falls into chapters whose titles correspond to his book names. The letters dating from his early years at the University of Edinburgh to the 1859 publication of The Origin of the Species charts Darwin's most exciting years of life, including the Beagle's journey and the subsequent findings that led to his theory of natural selection.
