A modern and beautifully redesigned version of a classic science text. Originally published in 1859, On the Origin of Species is one of the most important texts ever released. Written by the father of evolutionary theory, Charles Darwin, it not only restructured how we view life on Earth, but also provided an important step in our ability to answer the big questions: namely, 'where did we come from?' Taking over 20 years to write, Darwin considered the finished manuscript to be about half the length he initially intended. He 'rushed' toward the end, due to the similar work of Alfred Russell Wallace which was also due to be released, even limiting the time grieving for the death of his son to 5 days. The work itself is now one of the most famous in history, arguably contributing more to scientific and rationalist thought than any other singular release.

Quan el llibre L'origen de les espècies va veure la llum, el 1859 a Londres, va provocar una gran commoció en tots els àmbits de la cultura. La seva teoria revolucionària sobre l'evolució natural de les espècies, el fet que l'home procedís d'espècies inferiors i que de sobte existís un vincle que el connectava amb el que pejorativament s'anomenava "animals", no resultava fàcil d'acceptar. Les conclusions sobre les lleis de la vida a les quals Charles Darwin havia arribat es fonamentaven exclusivament en un posicionament científic i entraven en conflicte amb l'explicació que en donava la religió. En ple segle XXI, dos-cents anys després del naixement de l'autor i cent-cinquanta anys després de la publicació de l'obra, el debat entre darwinistes i creacionistes, entre ciència i religió, continua sent de plena actualitat. Per tot això cal llegir Darwin. Hi trobareu el treball d'un gran científic, d'una ment moderna, que va transformar el nostre món
