The lost world - Arthur Conan Doyle

When Ed Malone, a hot-headed journalist with an insatiable thirst for adventure, is sent to interview the notorious Professor Challenger, he manages to charm his way onto the great man's expedition. Challenger leads the four-man team to a South American jungle on an isolated plateau, cut off from the rest of the world by vast, perpendicular cliffs. Here, in this lost world, linger strange prehistoric creatures, long extinct elsewhere - terrifying dinosaurs, huge pterodactyls and a vicious ape-man. A fast-moving tale of action and adventure, 'The Lost World' is one of the original fantasy novels.
