About
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World begins with Edward, a self-assured newspaper reporter who believes that the woman he admires, Gladys, will undoubtedly agree to his marriage proposal. To his utter shock and amazement, Gladys stops “Ned” from proposing and announces that she can’t marry him because he does not have the characteristics of her ideal man. In order to gain her hand in marriage, Edward seeks to become someone of merit and value by accompanying the scientist George Challenger on a journey to find proof that prehistoric animals still exist.
Along with a band of accompanying assistants, George and Edward find themselves on a unique plateau that derived from an ancient volcano. Almost immediately, the explorers discover dinosaurs living off the land and after several breath taking adventures, they then encounter ape-men and early cave men fighting one another for survival.
George and Edward help the cave men defeat the ape-men. In return, the cave men show the adventurers a way off the “lost world”; a hidden cave. However, when Edward returns as a war hero, he finds that Gladys had made other plans.
