Long before Jurassic Park , Arthur Conan Doyle thrilled readers with his vision of prehistoric survival in The Lost World . When the eccentric Professor Challenger claims to have discovered living dinosaurs deep in the Amazon jungle, the scientific community laughs him off. Determined to prove his theory, Challenger assembles an unlikely team: skeptical scientist Professor Summerlee, bold adventurer Lord John Roxton, and eager journalist Edward Malone. Together they journey into the unknown, climbing to a remote plateau cut off from time itself. What they find is beyond belief: pterodactyls soaring overhead, giant reptiles stalking the swamps, and a race of ape-men locked in a brutal struggle with early humans. Their expedition becomes a fight for survival against creatures thought extinct for millions of years. First published in 1912, The Lost World helped establish the “lost world” genre of adventure fiction. This Bella Galbraith edition presents Doyle’s timeless classic in clear, elegant formatting—perfect for readers who crave discovery, peril, and the thrill of imagination.
