The Lost World
99.99 €
To win the favor of the socialite Gladys Hungerton, young reporter Ed Malone joins a risky expedition led by the hot-tempered, boorish Professor Challenger, a brilliant scientist. Their destination is an unnamed plateau somewhere in the tropics; they will search for it using sketches in the album of an American artist who died in the wilds of South America. Besides the landscape, the album contains sketches of dinosaurs. And they appear to be drawn from life! Could this really be a miraculously preserved island of prehistoric times in the modern world?
The format of the interactive "Around the Book" series allows for individual spreads of the publication to feature not only the gripping novel about the adventures of four brave men but also detailed cultural and historical commentary, maps, diagrams, drawings, and photographs. The history of paleontology, scientific discoveries at the turn of the century, the hobbies of wealthy Britons, the flora, fauna, and ethnography of the Amazon, scientific forgeries and misconceptions—a veritable encyclopedia of England was published on the eve of the First World War. The text itself contains surprises: drawings and notes from that very Maple-White album. The novel is illustrated with strips in a bright yet elegant color scheme, reminiscent of contemporary graphic design.
