[K.S. Marsden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book, and I think anyone who is interested in evolution/horses/history/anthropology might enjoy it too!
Originally drawn to this as it involved horses and science (I am a geek at heart), I found that I became equally fascinated by the countries that Toby traveled through (having no experience of South America myself); for the culture and the people that make this a captivating journey. The author presents a very touching and interesting account of how their world is changing, and gives an history on the places he passes through.
Best of all, Toby Green does not take himself seriously, his writing is light and easy to follow; and he has left an amusing amount of his horsey errors and complications in.

Un buen libro para conocer el viaje del Beagle que realizó Darwin, desde una prespectiva diferente y más actual.
