Is the sordid story behind human zoos that flourished in Europe in the nineteenth century connected somehow to a boy's life a hundred years later? \u003cbr\u003e On Fitzroy Foster's fourteenth birthday on September 11, 1981, he receives an unexpected and unwelcome gift: when his father snaps his picture with a Polaroid, another person's image appears in the photo. Fitzroy and his childhood sweetheart, Cam, set out on a decade-long journey in search of this stranger's identity--and to reinstate his own--across seas and continents, into the far past and the evil and good that glint in the eyes of the elusive visitor. Seamlessly weaving together fact and fiction, \u003ci\u003eDarwin's Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e holds up a different light to Conrad's \"The horror! The horror!\" and a different kind of answer to the urgent questions, Who are we? And what can we do about it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ariel Dorfman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609809874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609809874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Ariel Dorfman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449793097983,"sku":"9781609809874","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f32b34d0-c79e-41ad-95b4-117aac49c715.jpg?v=1777264933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darwins-ghosts-ariel-dorfman-9781609809874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
