À propos de cet audio

Colin Morgan narrates the action-packed and gripping novel of Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle - longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

In 1831 Charles Darwin set off in HMS Beagle under the command of Captain Robert Fitzroy on a voyage that would change the world. This is the story of a deep friendship between two men and the twin obsessions that tear them apart, leading one to triumph and the other to disaster.

...difficult; depressing. Listen anyway. Warning: book starts a subject reading rabbit hole. Narrator superb.

So good, so worth it, so necessary, but...

Story-wise, this book is gripping. It really manages to successfully tell the widely unknown story behind Darwin's voyage. The style is descriptive and matches the mood perfectly. The thematic parallels, the philosophical questions - it's challenging in the best of ways. Also, a masterful portrayal of FitzRoy's psychology, with the rigid dedication to the cause and the underlying depression.

Colin Morgan's narration style doesn't disappoint as usual. He truly has the storyteller's talent.

Just masterful
