Charles Darwin s most famous book On the Origin of Species is
without question, one of the most important books ever written.
While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove
difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and
under intense pressure. For an era in which Darwin is more talked
about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English
rendering of Darwin s first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a
summary, this version might best be described as a "translation"
for contemporary English readers. A monument to reasoned insight,
the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully
gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning. By removing the
linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin,
this edition aims to bring 21st-century readers into closer contact
with Darwin s revolutionary ideas."
