Synopsis "The Lost World"

The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The explorers nd themselves in a horrifying predicament when they are isolated on the plateau with seemingly no means of escape. On the plateau they nd dinosaur life in abundance. Strangely enough, they also nd both ape-like and homo-sapien-like men who are coexisting with the dinosaurs. It is the depiction of prehistoric life that is fascinating and brings the book to like. This book is undoubtably a key inspiration for later novels and movies such as Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, plus movies such as One Million BC and King Kong etc.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
