Samenvatting:

This deluxe gift edition of Charles Darwin''s On the Origin of Species is presented with gold-embossed cover design with decorative page-edges and beautiful endpapers.

The controversial theory of natural selection proposed in this book made Darwin internationally famous and put the issue of evolution at the centre of a fierce debate. Some 150 years after the book''s first publication, this battle still rages.

Appearing here in this beautiful foil-stamped edition, On the Origin of Species includes a fascinating preface by George Davidson and includes over 100 delicately detailed and informative contemporary illustrations, many of them relating to Darwin''s discoveries on H.M.S. Beagle. The text used for this edition was the last to be published during Darwin''s lifetime and is considered to be the definitive version.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Epic Classics brings together stunning large-format hardback editions of classic works, presented with striking illustrated page edges and classic illustrations throughout.
