Young Charley Darwin hated schoolhe much preferred to be outside studying birds' eggs, feathers, and insects. And so, at the age of twenty-one, he boarded a ship called HMS Beagle and spent five thrilling but dangerous years sailing around the world, studying plant and animal life that was beyond anything he could have imagined.
Here, historical novelist Carolyn Meyer tells the story of his unconventional adventures. It's the story of a restless childhood, unrequited teenage love, and a passion for studying nature that was so great, Darwin would sacrifice everything to pursue it.

Calatoria fascinanta a unui celebru naturalist, tanarul Charley Darwin, ura scoala, prefera mult sa fie in afara studiului oualor de pasari, pene si insecte. Si astfel, la varsta de douazeci si unu de ani, s-a urcat pe o nava numita HMS Beagle si a petrecut cinci ani palpitanti, dar periculosi, navigand in jurul lumii, studiind viata plantelor si a animalelor care era dincolo de orice ar fi putut imagina.
