Charles Darwin was much more than the scientist who changed biology: he was a man of tireless curiosity, deep doubts, and a life marked by love, illness, travel, and observation of the natural world.

This book traces his story from childhood to his final years, exploring not only the creation of the theory of evolution, but also his personal conflicts, his most fascinating discoveries, his contradictions, and the lasting impact of his thought.

This fifth installment reveals the young Beagle traveler, the family man at Down House, the naturalist who revolutionized science, and the man whose work forever transformed our understanding of life on Earth.
