Produktbeschreibung
The Origin of Species was written by Charles Darwin and published in 1859. This book brought order to the world of organisms. Darwin not only supported the notion of transformation of species, but also was able to suggest a mechanism by which such evolution could occur without recourse to other than purely natural causes. According to his theory of natural selection, minute variations in offspring are either favoured or eliminated in the competition for survival. This brought the idea of evolution to be perceived with great clarity. This book is a work of scientific literature that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin?s book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. Upon its publication, the book attracted widespread interest. Already regarded as a scientist, Darwin?s findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. His concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England, into a family that faced financial instability. His early life was marked by hardship, particularly when his father was imprisoned for debt, forcing young Dickens to work in a factory at the age of 12. These formative experiences deeply influenced his later writings, infusing them with themes of social injustice and the struggles of the poor.Dickens began his literary career as a journalist, but he quickly rose to fame with the publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1836. His vivid characters, keen social observations, and serialized storytelling captivated a broad audience. Over the years, Dickens authored numerous classics such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and A Christmas Carol, establishing himself as one of the most influential writers of the Victorian era.Beyond his novels, Dickens was also a tireless social critic, using his platform to advocate for reforms in education, labor conditions, and the treatment of the poor. His works not only entertained but also challenged society to confront its injustices. Dickens continued to write and tour extensively until his death on June 9, 1870, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate with readers around the world.
