Book excerpt: This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Professor Challenger series. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Book excerpt: Nothing could be done. The thing was universal and beyond our human knowledge or control. It was death for young and old, for weak and strong, for rich and poor, without hope or possibility of escape. Must Professor George Challenger and friends, barricaded in a room, see Earth die? As globe passes through a belt of poisonous ether, terror sweeps mankind; cities riot; communications cease.

Book excerpt: The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) is known the world over as the creator of the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. To a lesser extent, his irascible Professor Challenger is known to generations of readers. "The Lost World" is one of Conan Doyle's best known novels, a tale of adventure on a remote plateau deep in the Amazonian jungle, where steep cliffs on all sides have isolated life atop the plateau from the rest of the world for eons. Professor Challenger and his company of intrepid adventurers make their way into Conan Doyle's "Lost World," only to find themselves exposed to dangers they could never have anticipated, even if they had really believed Challenger's claims of the wonders to be seen in the mysterious, isolated world he had described. Challenger himself had reached the threshold of the plateau on a previous adventure, but even he is not prepared for what awaits in the land above the cliffs, where prehistoric creatures even more astonishing than the dinosaurs he predicted lurk in the dense forests. Conan Doyle's tale has been a perennial favorite with readers since it first appeared one hundred years ago, inspiring several film versions, along with television programs, cartoons and comic books, some faithful to the story and some only loosely based on it.

Book excerpt: 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.”
