Synopsis "The Lost World"

Just as Sherlock Holmes set the standard, and in some sense established the formula for the detective story, so too has The Lost World set the standard and the formula for fantasy-adventure stories, still used in many narrative in entertainment today. "The Lost World" is the first in a series of books to feature the bold Professor Challenger, a character many consider to be one of the most finely realised in science fiction. In this story Challenger and his party embark on an expedition to a remote Amazonian plateau where, as the good professor puts it, "the ordinary laws of Nature are suspended" and numerous prehistoric creatures and ape-men have survived.
