An Apple Books Classic edition.
Both Pompeii and Petra were excavated in the 1800s, and as explorers were searching for (and finding) more mysterious ancient cities, authors were finding new inspiration. Among them was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, already famous for his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. In 1912, he published The Lost World, branching out into the popular genre of adventure fiction and crafting a story that will appeal to fans of Jurassic Park.
Ned Malone is a reporter who’s just been told by the love of his life that she wants a man who embraces danger. And so, he does what any man would do: He gathers a crew and sets off on an expedition with a professor who claims to have discovered living dinosaurs. What follows is a suspenseful story with hints of science fiction and Conan Doyle’s flair for mystery. After landing on a South American island untouched by time, the crew faces a betrayal that leaves them stranded amid terrifying dangers. Will they escape—and do they ever find dinosaurs? We’re not telling. You’ll just have to read the book.

A rolicking fromp
Verbiage and foliage and lots of it to begin with. An escape into stereotype and prehistory and how men twist and and turn and grind themselves into holes, looking for reward and fame. Inchoate in it's veneer, it is nonetheless a rewarding read.
Splendid, of course!
I’m really impressed! We know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a genius at observation and description, while his novels have inspired generations of writers. Sir Doyle deeply and masterfully did excellent research… really wonderfully created! Fabulous story! And there is solid basis in stories native peoples tell even today….
