The historical context included will provide the reader a detailed background on circumstances of creation of Doyle’s famous characters, the period and the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (born 1859, died 1930). Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the most recognisable characters in detective stories genre in the whole world literature – Sherlock Holmes.In early 1891, Conan Doyle opened an ophthalmology practice in London. This wasn't a success (in his autobiography, Conan Doyle claims that he didn't have a single patient).

The reader is captivated by Sherlock Holmes and beautifully crafted stories that make them crave more. In his later writing Conan Doyle also created one of the great anti-establishment heroes in Professor Challenger. Fiercely intelligent but also irascible, unpredictable and occasionally violent, Challenger is willing to challenge any scientific or cultural precept, however dearly held. Largely written during and after World War One, the Challenger novels poke fun at widely held beliefs and use the science fiction to examine and underline the strangeness and unpredictability of the world.'The Lost World' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a fascinating reading that will keep the reader entertained all the time. Just plunge into the amazing world of Professor Challenger, and enjoy yourself along the way.'The Lost World' was first published in 1912.
