  • Description
    A classic that took the world by storm, raising havoc among scientists and religious people as its exposition apparently contradicted the account of the creation of the world of Genesis in the Bible, Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species remains the most readable and accessible of the great revolutionary works of scientific imagination. Sold out on the very first day of its publication in 1859 and often considered a watershed in the history of scientific, philosophical and theological ideas, the book describes the most fundamental truth of the natural world that there exists a “natural selection” of favourable variations and a fierce “struggle for existence” in all living beings, thereby ensuring the survival of the fittest. The classic that unfolds the mystery of mysteries, as Darwin calls it, in an intimate, informal and enjoyable style, continues to transform our views of the world and remains relevant in any study of the history of ideas.

    • Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist. He is best known for his contributions to the science of evolution, in which he established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors. In a joint publication with Alfred Russell Wallace, Darwin introduced his scientific theory that the branching pattern of evolution is the result of a process which he termed “natural selection”.

    A Work of Genius and Intensive Labour

    Charles Darwin faced hell for writing the most revolutionary book in the history of biology. But after finishing this book, I am sure he felt it was all worth it. Mind you, this is not a coffee table book which you can read in one go. You can utilise and enjoy this book fully only if you have a deep interest in biology and are willing to stick through to the end. This product is good in terms of everything and the delivery was prompt. This was a good experience.

    Most important book in history

    This edition by Harper Collins is unabridged and full in its contents. There are 604 pages in this edition not 192 as incorrectly mentioned in the specifications.

    This book has no parallel when it comes to its relevance to the questions of life on earth and about our origin and identity as a species. Although written in the 19th century it still has much to offer to readers in the 21st century.

    A must read for everyone, it's a wonderful insight not just into Darwin's mind but Nature itself.

    Mind-blowing purchase

    *Awesome*

    I've delivered by the EKART wish master only few hours ago. It was a late delivery (slowed for an additional day). Since I haven't read the book yet, this review covers only the 'product quality' and 'delivery experience'. I bought the product from Prakash books India private Ltd., a genuine sellers, for a very lucky price of rupees 113 and I'm happy that I could save upto 137 rupees in this purchase. It's a 2020 reprint and paperback edition of Darwin's "Origin of Species" by the ...
