The lost world by arthur conan doyle5/21/2023 They fight for their lives with pterodactyls, see iguanodons at play and watch the tragedies of life among the gigantic dinosaurs. When Conan Doyle sat down to write “The Lost World” did he say to himself he would prove that Rider Haggard had not exhausted the possibilities of weird and amazing fiction? Or did he stick his tongue in his cheek and set out to write a caricature of novels of adventure? Or did he just simply take all the strings off that scientific imagination of his and let it riot unrestrained with his central idea? Whatever his purpose, he has produced a highly interesting tale of outlandish adventure of a sort to stir the pulses and arouse the wonder of even the “jaded” novel reader.įor he goes back of the hintermost beyond of man’s knowledge, and has his little company of 20th-century scientists and adventurers test their courage and their skill against the huge and loathsome beasts of the Jurassic period.
