The Lost World

Description

Professor Challenger says dinosaurs still live on a South American plateau; a journalist, a sceptic, and a hunter go to see. Hear Conan Doyle’s The Lost World unabridged in English: Edward Malone wanting a deed for a woman, Summerlee arguing, Lord John Roxton’s rifle, Maple White’s lost map made real. Ape-men, dinosaurs, a stockade, the climb off the isolated tableland. Listen to scientific romance as shouted proof and camp-fire nerves. Spoken adventure of 1912, not a museum tour. The ear catches the roar and the newspaper scoop. A plateau that will not stay a lecture-hall joke. The ape-king’s war, a pterodactyl over the camp, Malone sending copy that London will not believe until the evidence walks. Hear Challenger’s roar against Summerlee’s doubt. Scientific romance as a shout from a lost tableland.
