The Lost World (Summit Classic Collector Editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

This collector-quality edition contains the complete original text of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's enduring classic in a newly edited and freshly typeset version, together with a newly-written original biographical sketch of the author and a detailed selected bibliography of his work. With a generous 6"x9" page size, this Summit Classic edition is printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Page headers and modern page design that echoes the look and feel of traditional book publishing values exemplify the attention to detail given this volume. 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.

The novel also describes a war between indigenous people and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.Edward Malone, a young reporter for the Daily Gazette, asks his editor for a dangerous assignment to impress the woman he loves, Gladys, who wishes for a great man capable of brave deeds and actions. His task is to approach the notorious Professor Challenger, who dislikes the popular press intensely and physically assaults intrusive journalists. The subject is to be his recent South American expedition which, surrounded by controversy, guarantees a hostile reaction. As a direct approach would be instantly rebuffed, Malone instead masquerades as an earnest student. On meeting the professor he is startled by his intimidating physique, but believes his ruse is succeeding. Seeing through the masquerade, then confirming Malone's scientific knowledge is non-existent, Challenger erupts in anger and forcibly throws him out. Malone earns his respect by refusing to press charges with a policeman who saw his violent ejection into the street. Challenger ushers him back inside and, extracting promises of confidentiality, eventually reveals he has discovered living dinosaurs in South America, following up an expedition by a now-deceased previous American explorer named Maple White. At a tumultuous public meeting in which Challenger experiences further ridicule (most notably from a professional rival, Professor Summerlee), Malone volunteers for an expedition to verify the discoveries. His companions are to be Professor Summerlee, and Lord John Roxton, an adventurer who helped end slavery on the Amazon; the notches on his rifle showing how many slavers he killed doing so.

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle Annotated by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf

The novel opens with Edward Malone ("Ned") finding his declarations of love rejected by Gladys, for she can only love a heroic man. Malone, a newspaper reporter, has been assigned to write an article on professor Challenger who has returned from South America with unbelievable stories of prehistoric life in a remote location in the Amazon. The scientific community in London thinks Challenger is a fraud, so the professor plans a new excursion to bring back concrete evidence of his claims. He asks for volunteers to join him, and Malone steps forward in hopes the trip will prove his heroic nature to Gladys. They will also be joined by the wealthy adventurer Lord John Roxton and the skeptical professor Summerlee, who hopes to prove Challenger truly is a fraud.After a dangerous journey up the rivers and through the forests of the Amazon, the four adventurers arrive at the massive plateau where they soon encounter a pterodactyl, forcing Summerlee to admit that Challenger had been telling the truth. The plateau itself appears impossible to climb, but the party finds an adjacent pinnacle that they ascend, and they then fell a tree to create a bridge over to the plateau. Through the treachery of one of their porters who holds a grudge against Lord Roxton, their makeshift bridge is soon destroyed, and the four men find themselves trapped on the plateau.
