Publisher's Synopsis
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Lost World "There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again." "So tomorrow we disappear into the unknown. This account I am transmitting down the river by canoe, and it may be our last word to those who are interested in our fate." "One must wait till it comes." "I have wrought my simple plan If I give one hour of joy To the boy who's half a man, Or the man who's half a boy." "He was too absurd to make me angry. Indeed, it was a waste of energy, for if you were going to be angry with this man you would be angry all the time." "He has a gentle voice and a quiet manner, but behind his twinkling blue eyes there lurks a capacity for furious wrath and implacable resolution, the more dangerous because they are held in leash."
