SpecificationsAbout the Author The grandson of a pre-eminent natural philosopher Charles Darwin 1809-82 devoted his life to the study of all forms of animal and vegetable life. His book The Origin of the Species which was twenty years in the making is his crowning achievement.Author 1 Charles DarwinBook Description "When Darwin set sail at the end of 1831 it was only with a vague notion that all life forms both present and extinct were more strongly related than the Christian version of the worlds creation purported them to be. During his five-year voyage of research and discovery on board HMS Beagle and later from his home in Kent he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galapagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for a theory that would change the world we live in - and the way we look at it - for ever. The foundation of evolutionary biology and natural selection - which prompted as huge a revolution in the fields of science and religion as Copernicuss heliocentric model of the universe and Newtons law of gravity Darwins On the Origin of Species is perhaps the most important book of scientific observation ever written."ISBN-10 1847497845ISBN-13 9781847497840Language EnglishNumber of Pages 384Publication Date 2019-08-22View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author The grandson of a pre-eminent natural philosopher Charles Darwin 1809-82 devoted his life to the study of all forms of animal and vegetable life.

SpecificationsAbout the Author Counted among the leading thinkers of the twentieth century Hermann Hesse was born in 1877. Rebelling against a stern monastic education he worked as a locksmith and a bookseller before embarking on a 65-year writing career. Having travelled as far as India he settled in Switzerland in 1911 in opposition to German militarism. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1946 he died in 1963 aged eighty-five.Author 1 Hermann HesseBook Description Herman Hesses legendary allegorical novel "The Journey to the East" is purportedly the history of a journey undertaken by a secretive League. Written by one H.H. the groups storyteller and choirmaster an old and weak man who has never recovered from the failure of the journey and the disintegration of the League. As H.H. struggles to string together his fractured memory of the expedition he reveals the existence of a fantastical alluring and deeply intimate world in which a journey can cross not only the boundaries of time and space but even those of fact and fiction in which ones travelling companion might just as easily be Don Quixote as Paul Klee. It is towards the end of this beguiling novel however that Hesse brings his greatest moral and philosophical powers to bear as he examines themes such as faith cowardice and the relationship between an artist and their creation. Close in conception to "The Glass Bead Game" "The Journey to the East" is a succinct example of the Nobel Prize winners universal appeal.Editorial Review A great writer ... complex subtle allusive. - New York Times Book ReviewISBN-10 720613051ISBN-13 9.78072E+12Language EnglishNumber of Pages 116View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Counted among the leading thinkers of the twentieth century Hermann Hesse was born in 1877.

Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1946 he died in 1963 aged eighty-five.Author 1 Hermann HesseBook Description Herman Hesses legendary allegorical novel "The Journey to the East" is purportedly the history of a journey undertaken by a secretive League. Written by one H.H. the groups storyteller and choirmaster an old and weak man who has never recovered from the failure of the journey and the disintegration of the League. As H.H. struggles to string together his fractured memory of the expedition he reveals the existence of a fantastical alluring and deeply intimate world in which a journey can cross not only the boundaries of time and space but even those of fact and fiction in which ones travelling companion might just as easily be Don Quixote as Paul Klee. It is towards the end of this beguiling novel however that Hesse brings his greatest moral and philosophical powers to bear as he examines themes such as faith cowardice and the relationship between an artist and their creation. Close in conception to "The Glass Bead Game" "The Journey to the East" is a succinct example of the Nobel Prize winners universal appeal.Editorial Review A great writer ... complex subtle allusive. - New York Times Book ReviewISBN-10 720613051ISBN-13 9.78072E+12Language EnglishNumber of Pages 116View Full Specifications
