What this book is about
The irascible, brilliant Professor George Challenger leads a small expedition to a remote plateau in South America where prehistoric creatures have somehow survived to the modern era. Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 adventure novel combines his gift for character — Challenger is one of the great comic figures in adventure fiction — with the propulsive excitement of discovery and survival in a genuinely dangerous prehistoric world.
