Product Information
James Morrow's Gal pagos Regained centers on the fictional Chloe Bathurst, an unemployed Victorian actress who finds work on Charles Darwin's estate, nurturing the strange birds, exotic lizards, and giant tortoises he brought back from his trip around the world. When Chloe gets wind of the Great God Contest, sponsored by the Percy Bysshe Shelley Society-- 10,000 to the first petitioner who can prove or disprove the existence of a Supreme Being--she decides that Mr. Darwin's materialist theory of speciation might just turn the trick. (If Nature gave God nothing to do, maybe He was never around in the first place.) Before she knows it, her ambitions send her off on a wild adventure--a voyage by brigantine to Brazil, a steamboat trip up the Amazon, a hot-air balloon flight across the Andes--bound for the Gal pagos archipelago, where she intends to collect the live specimens through which she might demonstrate evolutionary theory to the contest judges.

Reviews
James Morrow's uncanny genius for creating imagined worlds within historical ones finds its full flowering in Galapagos Regained. In Chloe Bathurst, sometime assistant to Charles Darwin, the author has forged one of his most memorable characters--a young woman who risks life and livelihood in an epic quest to save her destitute father. Erudite, hilarious, prodigiously inventive on every page, Galapagos Regained is simply intoxicating in its originality and wisdom., "Morrow has proven a master at combining rollicking adventure and sly, bawdy humor with attention to ideas and a skewed look at history ... It's almost a crime for a novel to be as much fun as this one is." -- Library Journal (starred review) " [This] complex tale is a round-the-world romp of improbable but delightful fun and harrowing adventures, a cross between Phileas Fogg and Lara Croft." -- Publishers Weekly " Galápagos Regained reads like a riotous conflation of Candide and Around the World in 80 Days . By turns harrowing, hilarious, and thought-provoking, the adventures of Darwin's zookeeper, the fictional Chloe Bathurst, make for a delectable historical epic."-- Paolo Bacigalupi, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Windup Girl "Jim Morrow's madcap brilliance and exuberant erudition are on the move again, and Galápagos Regained is a triumph. It's an adventure story that's not only bursting with page-turning plot but with dangerous ideas of the very best kind. Riding the wild narrative waves of Galápagos Regained is an exhilarating experience that is not to be missed." -Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex "A witty and wisecracking Victorian adventure, an Indiana Jones caper with Charles Darwin lurking in the wings, as if Jules Verne was retold by Tom Stoppard. Rollicking, preposterously enchanting, and--as with all of Morrow's work--cagily profound." -Wilton Barnhardt, author of Lookaway, Lookaway "James Morrow's uncanny genius for creating imagined worlds within historical ones finds its full flowering in Galapagos Regained .
