Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - It is imperative that now at once, while these stupendous events are still clear in my mind, I should set them down with that exactness of detail which time may blur. But even as I do so, I am over-whelmed by the wonder of the fact that it should be our little group of the "Lost World" - Professor Challenger, Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton, and myself - who have passed through this amazing experience. When, some years ago, I chronicled in the Daily Gazette our epoch-making journey in South America, I little thought that it should ever fall to my lot to tell an even stranger personal experience, one which is unique in all human annals and must stand out in the records of history as a great peak among the humble foothills which surround it. The event itself will always be marvellous, but the circumstances that we four were together at the time of this extraordinary episode came about in a most natural and, indeed, inevitable fashion. I will explain the events which led up to it as shortly and as clearly as I can, though I am well aware that the fuller the detail upon such a subject the more welcome it will be to the reader, for the public curiosity has been and still is insatiable.

Autorenporträt
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859 and went on to become a renowned author, physician, and political activist. Though initially focusing on his medical career, Doyle found fame with his creation of Sherlock Holmes, a character that would become a cultural icon. Holmes's brilliant deductive reasoning and unconventional methods in solving mysteries captured the imagination of readers worldwide.Doyle's writing career was not limited to the Holmes stories. He also wrote historical novels, plays, and works of non-fiction, often exploring themes of spirituality and the supernatural. Despite his success, Doyle struggled with the overwhelming popularity of Holmes, which he once attempted to leave behind in favor of other literary pursuits.In addition to his literary career, Doyle was involved in various political and social issues, advocating for justice and serving as a public speaker. His belief in spiritualism led him to become a vocal supporter of its causes, although it was often a source of controversy. Arthur Conan Doyle passed away in 1930, leaving behind a legacy that has influenced countless works of fiction and continues to captivate audiences today.
