Sir ArthurConanDoyle moved from detective stories to more fanciful fare with this 1912 novel of adventure and discovery.

Pugnacious Professor Challenger claims that he's found a place in the Amazon cut off from the rest of the world and housing all kinds of species previously believed to be extinct. He sets off on an expedition to prove his find, accompanied by the skeptical colleague, Professor Summerlee; the cool-headed sportsman Lord John Roxton; and the narrator, young reporter Edward Malone. They soon find Professor Challenger's lost world, an isolated plateau inhabited by dinosaurs, primitive humans, and savage ape-men, but when the bridge back to the outer world collapses, their journey of discovery becomes a fight for survival.

Not to be confused with the ''JurassicPark'' sequel by the same name. Inspired a bunch of films and TV series, one of which was ''[=~Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World~=]''.

* CannibalTribe
* CanonForeigner: Maple White was given a daughter in the 1925 film, as a love interest for Roxton (and then Malone who unintentionally steals her from him). She contributes almost nothing else.
* GentlemanAdventurer: Lord John Roxton
* GreatWhiteHunter: Lord John Roxton
* HaveAGayOldTime: Describing a semi-inflated hot air balloon as a "flaccid organ" probably falls under this.
