Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1912, The Lost World marks the introduction of Professor Challenger. In this adventure, he goes to South America where there is a land that time forgot--dinosaurs still roam the jungles, ape men battle the local tribes, and because no one believed him the first time he went, this second expedition includes Lord John Roxon, an adventurer with detailed knowledge about the Amazon, a reporter named Edward Malone, and another scientist, Professor Summerlee to verify his accounts. The group encounters danger at every turn in this terrific adventure that inspired many lost world books, movies, and television shows.
