Overview

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

“There's many a man who never tells his adventures, for he can't hope to be believed.”

In a bid to win the affection of the woman he loves, Edward Malone of the Daily Gazette sets out to interview Professor Challenger, an eccentric explorer renowned for his secrecy and mistrust of the press. Challenger claims that prehistoric beasts still walk the Earth, and when Malone miraculously gains his trust, he joins the Professor’s latest expedition to see this ancient land with his own eyes.

Published in 1912, The Lost World saw celebrated detective fiction author Arthur Conan Doyle enter the realm of science fiction. The adventure tale instantly captured the public imagination and has gone on to inspire numerous books, films and television series since its publication.
