McDonald, Roger: Mr. Darwin´s Shooter

popis: From one of Australia's most acclaimed writers comes Mr. Darwin's Shooter, a deeply imagined and stunningly well-executed exploration of natural marvels and scientific discovery, ambition, and adventure, and of one of history's most significant crises of faith. As Charles Darwin's manservant, Syms Covington shot and collected hundreds of specimens that would become fundamental to Darwin's theory of evolution. Now middle-aged and near-deaf, Covington awaits the arrival of the first copy of The Origin of Species, and is beset by guilt over having participated in a work that will shake the human worldview to its foundations.autor/autori: McDonald, Rogervydal: Atlantic, 1998číslo produktu: 10182269dodanie: v SR: od 2 €, pri objednávkach cez obooks.sk osobný odber 2x Bratislava (0 €), na 500+ PickUp pointoch (od 2 €) ; v ČR: dodanie od 75 Kč a osobný odber v 2000+ miestach; v EU a svet: platba vopred, poštovné podľa váhypoznámka: Fotografia je ilustračný obrázok, použitý produkt môže vykazovať známky menšieho, alebo väčšieho použitia, nemusí mať prebal ak ho mal pri výrobe, prílohy a odnímateľné časti.
