- Dickens at his angriest and shortest, which helps if his usual sprawl puts you off. You get Gradgrind drilling children into little fact-machines, then watch that philosophy slowly wreck his own daughter, and Bounderby the self-made blowhard is almost worth the price alone.
- Young Darwin is such good company here, riding with gauchos, poking at fossil bones in Patagonia, puzzling over Galápagos finches without knowing yet what they mean. It's a rambling travel journal, so skim freely, but his curiosity about everything is genuinely infectious.
