The Voyage of the Beagle is Darwin's fascinating account of his groundbreaking sea voyage that led to his writing On the Origin of Species
When the HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin was only twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal reveals him to be a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology and natural history as well as people, places, and events. He witnessed and visited volcanoes in the Galapagos, saw the Gossamer spider of Patagonia, sailed through the Australasian coral reefs, and recorded the brilliance of the firefly – these recollections are found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made on the five-year voyage set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the most controversial book of the Victorian age: On the Origin of Species. An introduction on the background to Darwin's work, as well as notes, maps, appendices, and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy, Darwin's friend and captain of the Beagle, provide context for this incredible story.
Voyage of the Beagle is the first fully illustrated edition of Darwin's journal and includes excerpts of On the Origin of Species so the reader can connect the author's journey with his discovery that made him famous.

巴伊亚( Bahia),或称圣萨尔瓦多( San Salvador),巴西,2月29日一一度过了愉快的一天。但“愉快”这词太平淡,无法表达一个博物学家第一次独自在巴西森林里漫步的心情。优雅的草木、新奇的寄生植物、美丽的花朵、光亮的绿叶,尤其是整个植被的繁茂,让我叹为观止。森林之幽暗处既呼吵闹,又万无声。昆虫的噪声如此响亮,能传到几百码外岸边停泊的船上。但森林深处似乎又被一种无边的寂静统治着。对一个喜欢自然史的人来说,这样的日子带来某种更深层次的乐趣,他都不敢奢望会有第二次。转了几个小时后,我回到了登陆点,但在此之前,我被一场热带暴雨追上。我试图躲在一棵大树下,它枝叶繁茂,一般的英国雨根本淋不透;但在这里,几分钟内,一股洪流就顺树干泼下来。正是这样的暴雨,使厚厚的森林覆盖的地面也翠绿无比:在更寒冷的气候下,这样的雨到达地面之前,大部分已被吸收或蒸发。我将暂时搁下对这个高贵海湾的浓情艳景的描写,因为我们返航途中将第二次在这里停泊,到时我再重拾话题。 (查看原文)
