The Lost World

Set in the Amazon basin, the story follows an expedition to a plateau where prehistoric creatures still exist. Professor Challenger, a key character introduced here, leads the group into this uncharted territory. The narrative also explores a conflict between indigenous tribes and a brutal race of ape-like beings, adding layers of tension and adventure. Originally serialized in the Strand Magazine and illustrated by Harry Rountree, this 1912 novel combines science fiction with themes of exploration and survival.
