Description
“The Lost World” is a novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the creator of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. The novel was first published in 1912 and is a classic work of adventure fiction. Unlike Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, “The Lost World” is a science fiction adventure that explores the theme of a prehistoric world isolated from the rest of humanity.
The story follows the character Professor Challenger, a larger-than-life and eccentric scientist who claims to have discovered a remote plateau in South America where prehistoric creatures still exist. Professor Challenger leads an expedition to prove the existence of this “lost world,” accompanied by the skeptical journalist Edward Malone, the pragmatic Professor Summerlee, and the big-game hunter Lord John Roxton.
Once they reach the plateau, the explorers encounter a variety of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures. The novel combines elements of scientific curiosity, adventure, and suspense as the characters navigate the challenges of the prehistoric environment.
“The Lost World” has been adapted into various films, television series, and other media over the years. The concept of a hidden, isolated world with ancient creatures has inspired numerous works in the science fiction and adventure genres.
