Daniel Duzdevich
Charles Darwin's most famous book On the Origin of Species is without question, one of the most important books ever written. While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure.
For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a "translation" for contemporary English listeners. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning.
By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin, this edition aims to bring 21st-century listeners into closer contact with Darwin's revolutionary ideas.

Reseñas de la Crítica
Great update to make reading easier

Firstly, I found the narrator's breathing to be somewhat distracting when I was in a quiet environment.
Secondly, the Foreword of the book mentions that some now superfluous words are omitted, and replaced with modernized terms. Though the foreword neglected to mention the use of the word "genetics" and it's qualifiers. I found this to be important because that term was not coined for almost a century after this work.
This is a fantastic piece of literature, and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I was quite pleased to find an unabridged version of it's reading.
Great Reading of a Very Important Work
