While Darwin and Melville never met, their interests overlapped across a very wide range of issues, from the geography and science of the Galapagos to the peoples and cultures of the South Pacific, God, nature, madness, and immortality. Barbara Novak has artfully put them in the same room, imagined their intense conversation, and juxtaposed their actual words into a vivid dialogue. Selecting from their own letters, reports, journals and books, the author has constructed the riveting conversation they might have had had the stars aligned.
