Angels and Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life by Adam Gopnik

4.0

an interesting parallel is drawn between abe lincoln and charles darwin, both born on the same day. what i found interesting is gopnik's analysis of both men's writing. he gives excellent observations about appeals, syntax and various literary devices. it makes me want to seek our darwin's writing and read a book about him i've had on my shelf for years.
