Acclaimed historian Tom Chaffin reveals young Darwin in all his complexities — the brashness that came from his privileged background, the Faustian bargain he made with Argentina’s notorious caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas, his abhorrence of slavery, and his ambition to carve himself a place amongst his era’s celebrated travelers and intellectual giants. Drawing on a rich array of sources — in a telling of an epic story that surpasses in breadth and intimacy the naturalist’s own Voyage of the Beagle — Chaffin brings Darwin’s odyssey to vivid life.
