Sinopsis de THE LOST WORLD AND THE POISON BELT
A heart-stopping adventure tale featuring a brilliant scientist&mdashone as insufferably pompous as Doyle&rsquos most famous character&mdashand his unlikely trio, and its apocalyptic sequel.
In 1912, the creator of Sherlock Holmes introduced his readers to yet another genius adventurer, Professor Challenger, who in his very first outing would journey to South America in search of . . . an isolated plateau crawling with iguanodons and ape-men! A smash hit, Doyle&rsquos proto-science fiction thriller would be adapted twice by Hollywood filmmakers, and it would go on to influence everything from Jurassic Park to the TV show Land of the Lost. Its 1913 sequel, The Poison Belt, finds Challenger and his dino-hunting comrades trapped in an oxygenated chamber as the entire planet passes through a lethal ether cloud.
Joshua Glenn is a consulting semiotician and editor of the websites HiLobrow and Semiovox. The first to describe 1900&ndash1935 as science fiction&rsquos &ldquoRadium Age,&rdquo he is editor of the MIT Press&rsquos series of reissued proto-sf stories from that period. He is coauthor and coeditor of various books including the family activities guide Unbored (2012), The Adventurer&rsquos Glossary (2021), and

Escrito por Arthur Conan Doyle
Edimburgo, (1859-1930). Arthur Conan Doyle, médico y escritor, estableció de forma definitiva la fórmula de la novela policíaca, adelantada treinta años antes por Edgar Allan Poe. Su personaje más conocido, Sherlock Holmes, gozó de gran popularidad desde su aparicion en sus primeras obras. Sin embargo, Conan Doyle escribió algunos libros con un marcado carácter histórico, y, al final de su vida, cultivó también el género de la ciencia ficción y publicó un escrito sobre el espiritismo, influido por la muerte de su hijo y por su experiencia vivida como soldado raso en la Primera Guerra Mundial.
