The Lost World & Other Stories• Sir Arthur Conan Doyle • Science Fiction • Dinos

Description: The Lost World And Other Stories, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Wordsworth Classics Edition, 1995. Hertfordshire, England: Wordsworth Editions Limited. Softcover, in Wraps. A Very Good Paperback Edition of Conan Doyle’s Underrated Science Fiction Stories, with a Clean Interior Free of Writing, a Tight Binding, Uncracked Spine, and Wraps Free of Chips, Tears, and Creases. The Usual Toning to Pages. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did more—much more—than create Sherlock Holmes, the greatest detective in literature. He also wrote a wide variety of entertaining, idea-driven stories, from adventure tales to science fiction. Many of these stories featured the character Professor George Edward Challenger, a brave, pompous, somewhat ridiculous figure who travels the globe getting into all sorts of escapades. This collection comprises five long stories, including “The Lost World,” the forbear to Michael Crichton’s dinosaur novels, in which explorers discover a remote region in South America where dinosaurs still roam; “The Land of the Mist,” which explores the intersection of science and spiritualism; and “The Disintegration Machine,” about Challenger’s efforts to halt a scientist from selling a machine that can disintegrate any matter into unseen atoms. A very cool collection of stories in the vein of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, and a lot of fun for Baker Street Irregulars looking to read more Conan Doyle.
