Written in 1912, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\'s The Lost World is the origin of all the many modern-day dinosaur books and films.
But behind all the peril and derring-do, Conan Doyle is gently satirising the idea of Science as a pure.
As an adventure story it has everything - dangerous crises abound, in several exotic locations, with ape-men and a host of strange and terrifying beasts, hair-raising escapes, secret tunnels, and the occasional damsel in distress thrown in for good measure.
