The Lost World (Professor Challenger #1) (1912)

by Arthur Conan Doyle

An expedition explores a remote plateau in the Amazon jungle where dinosaurs and primitive apemen survive in a prehistoric ecosystem.

 

Arthur Conan Doyle created another memorable character in Professor Challenger, a pugnacious, iconoclastic scientist whose volcanic temper and passionate attachment to his theories makes him very different from Doyle’s most famous character, Sherlock Holmes.

 

Arthur Conan Doyle

Doyle also shows himself to be as adept at writing lost-world adventure stories as tales of scientific detection.

 

This story presents lots of thrills and some effective humor along the way.
