The Complete Stories of Professor Challenger by Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

George Edward Challenger, better known as Professor Challenger, was a fictional character in a series of fantasy and science fiction stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Unlike Conan Doyle's self-controlled, analytical character, Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger was an aggressive, hot-tempered, dominating figure. He was also a pretentious and self-righteous scientific jack-of-all-trades. Challenger was, in many ways, rude, crude, and without social conscience or inhibition. Yet he was a man capable of great loyalty and his love of his wife was all encompassing. Within these pages are all five Professor Challenger stories: Two novels (The Lost World and The Land of Mist), one novella (The Poison Belt) and two short stories (The Disintegration Machine and When the World Screamed). A salways, Conan Doyle brings the characters - and his world - alive! He pulls us in with them, until we are truly worried for them! And in these five tales, the danger is truly great. From a land where danger lurks on land, water and air - from creatures which should be extinct, to an apocalyptic danger threatening our entire planet, to a scientific creation with truly horrifying possible misuses. And though less dangerous, no less incredible is the tale of spiritualism, and how it can be cruelly used for profit, and a tale that might make you think just how terrible our abuse of our planet might be! Professor Challenger may be gone, but these exciting tales, from the rich, imaginative mind of one of the world's greatest writers, remain to entertain us! Come along for the ride!

When the World Screamed by Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

* Book : When the World Screamed (Professor Challenger .5)* Biography* BibliographiyProfessor Challenger drills into the earth until he reaches the mantle, convinced that it is a sentient being and that by doing so he will be the first person to alert it to mankind's presence. He awakens the giant creature, which then proceeds to destroy his machine.Professor Challenger :George Edward Challenger, better known as Professor Challenger, is a fictional character in a series of science fiction stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Unlike Conan Doyle's cool, analytic Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger is an aggressive, dominating figure. Edward Malone, the narrator of The Lost World, the novel in which Challenger first appeared, described his first meeting with the character:His appearance made me gasp. I was prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a personality as this. It was his size, which took one's breath away-his size and his imposing presence. His head was enormous, the largest I have ever seen upon a human being. I am sure that his top hat, had I ventured to don it, would have slipped over me entirely and rested on my shoulders. He had the face and beard, which I associate with an Assyrian bull; the former florid, the latter so black as almost to have a suspicion of blue, spade-shaped and rippling down over his chest. The hair was peculiar, plastered down in front in a long, curving wisp over his massive forehead. The eyes were blue-grey under great black tufts, very clear, very critical, and very masterful. A huge spread of shoulders and a chest like a barrel were the other parts of him which appeared above the table, save for two enormous hands covered with long black hair. This and a bellowing, roaring, rumbling voice made up my first impression of the notorious Professor Challenger.He was also a pretentious and self-righteous scientific jack-of-all-trades. Although considered by Malone's editor, Mr McArdle, to be "just a homicidal megalomaniac with a turn for science", his ingenuity could be counted upon to solve any problem or get out of any unsavoury situation, and be sure to offend and insult several other people in the process. Challenger was, in many ways, rude, crude, and without social conscience or inhibition. Yet he was a man capable of great loyalty and his love of his French wife was all encompassing.Like Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger was based on a real person -- in this case, a Professor Rutherford, who had lectured at Conan Doyle's medical school.
