In The Lost World, the first in a series of books to feature the bold Professor Challenger-- a character many critics consider one of the most finely drawn in science fiction-- 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. " 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 . . ., " Michael Crichton writes in his Introduction. " The tone and techniques that Conan Doyle first refined in The Lost World have become standard narrative procedures in popular entertainment of the present day."

All editions are complete and unabridged, and feature Introductions and Afterwords.

Nests of pterodactyls, hordes of iguanadons, swarms of plesiosaurs still roaming the earth in the twentieth century? Professor Challenger says yes and to prove it he leads an expedition into the deepest jungles of South America. Together, the men--a young journalist, an adventurer, and an aristocrat--along with their bearers and guides, search for the rumored country and encounter savagery, hardship, and betrayal on the way. But things only get worse as they get closer to the hidden world they seek. Trapped on an isolated plateau, menaced by hungry carnosaurs, it begins to look as though the expedition will never return from ...The Lost World.


When four Englishmen and their guides venture into a "prehistoric," remote plateau in the South American jungle, they must rely on their cunning and intellect to escape from the plateau and its carnivorous inhabitants.
