As a boy of thirteen, Syms Covington leaves his home in Bedford and goes to sea, passing into manhood as he sails the world, surveying Patagonia, and losing his virginity in the Pampas. Aboard the HMS Beagle, he enters the service of Charles Darwin as an energetic and precocious fifteen-year-old, and in the course of their voyages together he shoots and collects hundreds of specimens for his gent, specimens that become fundamental to the formulation of Darwin s theory of evolution. Now a crusty, eccentric, near-deaf old man, Covington has settled in Australia and is awaiting the arrival of the first copy of "On the Origin of Species." Beset by guilt over participating in a work that will shake the human world view to its foundations, he nonetheless wonders what part of himself might be reflected in Darwin s oeuvre. "Mr. Darwin s Shooter" captures its time with rare and dazzling skill, evoking an unforgettable but forgotten man at a watershed moment in history. *** Quantity Available: 1.
