**De la autora del best seller del New York Times: La invención de la naturaleza /The Invention of Nature, llega un relato increíblemente ilustrado y evocador de la expedición de cinco años de Alexander Von Humboldt por América del Sur.
**

Alexander von Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax.

Ahora Andrea Wulf se asocia con la artista Lillian Melcher para dar vida a esta audaz expedición, completa con extractos de los diarios, atlas y publicaciones de Humboldt. Ella nos da un retrato íntimo del hombre que predijo el cambio climático inducido por los humanos, elaboró ​​una narrativa poética a partir de la observación científica e influyó en figuras icónicas como Simón Bolívar, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin y John Muir.

En este precioso libro ilustrado se recoge la historia de su viaje al corazón de la naturaleza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the New York Times bestselling author of La invención de la naturaleza / The Invention of Nature, comes a breathtakingly illustrated and brilliantly evocative recounting of Alexander Von Humboldt's five year expedition in South America.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, but his most revolution-ary idea was a radical vision of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. His theories and ideas were profoundly influenced by a five-year exploration of South America.

Now Andrea Wulf partners with artist Lillian Melcher to bring this daring expedition to life, complete with excerpts from Humboldt's own diaries, atlases, and publications. She gives us an intimate portrait of the man who predicted human-induced climate change, fashioned poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and influenced iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, and John Muir.

This gorgeous account of the expedition not only shows how Humboldt honed his groundbreaking understanding of the natural world but also illuminates the man and his passions.
