Product Description

 
The course of human history was changed in 1912 when an event called the Miracle occurred. In the years that followed, what used to be Europe was replaced by Darwinia. To escape an America burning under the fires of religious fundamentalism, Guiford Law treks to Darwinia, a land of untamed jungles, in search of his place in the world.

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2000
Review: Imagine that in the year 1912, Europe and all of its people, buildings, animals, and foliage inexplicably vanish in the course of one night, replaced by an alien wilderness, which although similar in geography, harbors non-terrestrial flora and...

The greatest war

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2000
Review: The best thing about Robert Charles Wilson's Darwinia is its unique, high-concept premise: Europe-as-it-is disappears from the world in 1912 and is replaced by what some call "Darwinia," a continent that is very similar topographically but inhabited...

Certainly Not the Fittest Book to Survive

Date of Review:  May 16, 2000
Review: Darwinia starts off promisingly: imagine a huge part of our world being suddenly and irrevocably replaced. In the stead of old Europe is a wilderness, the flora and fauna of which are unknown creatures from an alternate evolutionary lineage. A small...

  Locus: "...[W]e see the panoply of history as a struggle between the wildly unfamiliar and the forces of our own chaotic century, with individuals caught in the middle, their lives at once bizarre and familiar, poignantly vivid, eloquently told. "Darwinia" is a remarkable book, worthy of the highest honors....Don't miss it."
