“So tomorrow we disappear into the unknown . . . it may be our last word to those who are interested in our fate.” Dinosaurs, pterodactyls, ape-men, and other prehistoric creatures still roam among us. This groundbreaking discovery has been made by the notorious Professor George Edward Challenger, who is a brilliant scientist. But this revelation has been subjected to ridicule. In order to believe, people need proof. So, that’s what he will give them. Braving danger and risking his life, Challenger will set foot into the depths of the Amazonian plateau of South America. Accompanying him in this extraordinary adventure are his professional rival Professor Summerlee, journalist Edward Malone, and Lord John Roxton. In the dense foliage of the dark, lost world, will Challenger find the proof he is looking for? And, if he does, will he survive? Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World became an instant success on publication. It is one of the best sci-fi stories ever written and is considered a classic that has set the standard for all fantasy-adventure stories.
