Sobre este artículo
New York: Anchor Books, 2013. Softcover. Fine. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Near gift-quality but for publisher's remainder dot along bottom edge, else sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. From the publisher's synopsis: "In 1856, Paul Du Chaillu ventured into the African jungle in search of a mythic beast, the gorilla. After wild encounters with vicious cannibals, deadly snakes, and tribal kings, Du Chaillu emerged with 20 preserved gorilla skins-two of which were stuffed and brought on tour-and walked smack dab into the biggest scientific debate of the time: Darwin`s theory of evolution. Quickly, Du Chaillu`s trophies went from objects of wonder to key pieces in an all-out intellectual war. With a wide range of characters, including Abraham Lincoln, Arthur Conan Doyle, P.T Barnum, Thackeray, and of course, Charles Darwin, this is a one of a kind book about a singular moment in history." 402 pp. including notes and index.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
