| Summary | "Carlo Darwin" by Michele Lessona is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and contributions of Charles Darwin, focusing on his early years, education, and the significant influences that shaped his work as a naturalist, particularly the impact of his famous voyage on the HMS Beagle. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the public's sentiment following Darwin's death, highlighting the request to honor him with a burial in Westminster Abbey instead of his home village. The opening chapters delve into Darwin's family background, detailing the intellectual legacy inherited from his grandfather and father, as well as his early education, which initially aimed at medicine. However, his passion for natural history flourished under the guidance of his mentor, Professor Henslow, leading to his embarking on the pivotal voyage of the Beagle, where he would develop his groundbreaking theories in biology and evolution. The narrative is imbued with personal anecdotes and insights, setting the stage for an exploration of Darwin’s transformative experiences that would influence his scientific perspective.
