The novel is firmly anchored in 19th-century geology, palaeontology, and biology, sketched out against the background of some of the most dramatic scenes he ever wrote. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe translation that forms the basis for this volume was published anonymously by George Routledge in 1876.
