Bertani Stefano G.
Il letterato Darwin. La scrittura dell'evoluzione
br. "Nessuno riuscirà a divulgare le teorie di Darwin meglio di lui stesso", avvertiva il poeta Osip Mandelstam; tuttavia, per comprenderle sarebbe stato "indispensabile studiare il suo stile letterario". Con la scrittura dei capolavori scientifici, l'umanista Darwin non aveva infatti elaborato solo un formidabile metodo argomentativo, ma permetteva ai lettori di ogni tempo di fare esperienza concreta delle leggi che governano la natura. Attraverso la composizione retorica dei testi era divenuto possibile - a lui per primo vedere le forme del mondo immerse nel movimento invisibile del tempo e delle trasformazioni; l'azione sterminatrice e modellatrice della selezione; le relazioni e le emozioni impalpabili che legano inestricabilmente tra loro le creature, noi compresi. Il libro è perciò un invito a rinnovare la lettura delle due maggiori opere di Darwin secondo una nuova prospettiva letteraria, con l'ausilio delle prime, splendide traduzioni dei naturalisti italiani dell'Ottocento. Si potrà così partecipare alla profonda esperienza di "meraviglia" che egli introdusse nella storia naturale non meno che nella storia intellettuale e letteraria dell'Occidente.

Browne Janet
Darwin. L'evoluzione di una vita
ril. A ben oltre un secolo dalla sua morte, le idee di Charles Darwin sono ancora in grado di ispirare scoperte scientifiche, ma di suscitare anche accesi e violenti dibattiti, quasi sempre di natura ideologica. Ma chi era veramente Darwin? E, soprattutto, in quale contesto storico- culturale nacque e maturò la sua rivoluzionaria teoria dell'evoluzione delle specie per selezione naturale? È proprio a queste domande che dà risposta la biografia di Janet Browne, restituendo un'immagine quanto mai vivida e a tutto tondo di Darwin. Una biografia definitiva dell'uomo e dello scienziato, che dipana l'enigma centrale della sua carriera, ovvero come questo tipico gentiluomo inglese di provincia finì per diventare un pensatore capace di sfidare i principi fondamentali della scienza e della religione. Janet Browne racconta ogni minimo dettaglio della vita di Darwin: dall'infanzia alla formazione, dall'avventurosa storia del viaggio intorno al mondo sul Beagle (1831-1836) alla pubblicazione dell'Origine delle specie (1859), il suo capolavoro, e dell'Origine dell'uomo (1871). Sullo sfondo dell'Inghilterra vittoriana, da questa completa e suggestiva biografia Darwin emerge come un genio tranquillo e riservato, come uno scienziato consumato da un'impellente necessità di comprendere la complessità delle forme viventi attraverso un costante lavoro di osservazione e di sperimentazione.
