The Spice Islands Voyage



Navigating through sparkling coral seas, Tim Severin traces the wanderings of the co-discoverer, with Charles Darwin, of the theory of evolution by natural selection..

Alfred Russell Wallace changed the way we see the natural world - and sailing in his wake aboard a traditional native vessel the reader encounters green turtles and birds of paradise, flying foxes, smugglers of exotic animals, along the remote shorelines of the Spice Islands.

"Full of  insights...retraces a journey through places of fabulous natural and cultural diversity...should inspire new readers to discover the remarkable writings of Wallace himself" INDEPENDENT
