It combines adventure  emotion  ideas  humor and tragedy as well as illuminating the history of the 19th century. Fitzroy  the Christian Tory aristocrat  believed in the sanctity of the individual  but his beliefs were a challenge to his career. Darwin  the liberal naturalist doubts the truth of the Bible and develops his theory of evolution which is brutal and unforgiving in human terms. The two friends became bitter enemies as Darwin destroyed everything Fitzroy stood for. The spirit of Patrick O?Brian is not far away. This Thing of Darkness is?a superior adventure story.? ?The Independent\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958148624437,"sku":"ByrdShop_1596921900","price":46.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781596921900.jpg?v=1770406308","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/to-the-edge-of-the-world","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
