About this listen

 The Lost World is a novel by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Released in 1912, it tells the story of an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin where prehistoric animals still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. The novel also describes a war between Native Americans and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

Scottish-born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a major innovator in the field of crime fiction. His other works include science-fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.

one cannot judge the writings of fantasy from 100+ years with our values a bias culture. so, the episode with the Indians and the ape men, it is only an assertion of the undeniable truth: the most dangerous animal ever walked on Earth is..., us.

This is one of my favourite adventure classics. The narration was good in spite of a few hitches here and there. Audio quality is not the best in this recording but I enjoyed it all the same. It gave the thing an appropriate old-timey feel, so to speak.

This book is simply a classic and one that many modern story tellers such as Michael Creiton or Neil Gaiman have taken bits and pieces of and made it their own. I found it to be a quite enjoyable adventure story where the protagonist grows from his experiences and is surrounded by great and colourful characters. Highly recommend for lovers of classical storytelling.
