On a zoology expedition up the Amazon, Professor Challenger has made an inexplicable discovery. Back in London, his claims are ridiculed throughout the professional community. Reluctantly, he recounts to Journalist Edward Malone, "Curupuri is the spirit of the woods, something terrible, something malevolent, something to be avoided. None can describe its shape or nature, but it is a word of terror along the Amazon. Something terrible lay that way. It was my business to find out what it was."

Arthur Conan Doyle is well known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, but he also wrote numerous works in which the great detective played no part.

Il mondo perduto (The Lost World), fu scritto nel 1912, ed è una delle opere più note del filone avventuroso del mondo perduto che si sviluppò a cavallo tra il XIX e il XX secolo. In particolare influenzò tutte le opere che in seguito parlarono di dinosauri, a partire da King Kong e a finire con Jurassic Park. In questo romanzo viene introdotto un personaggio, il professor Challenger, che, come dice il none, è quasi all’opposto di Holmes, istintivo quanto quest’ultimo è riflessivo.

Seul le Pr Challenger est capable de trouver la réponse à la menace que fait peser sur l'humanité l'existence d'une telle machine...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is of course famous for his creation of the great Sherlock Holmes. The stories of the master detective are justifiably well known but he also wrote many short stories which are not so well known but deserve to be. The four stories in this recording were first published singly in magazines, principally The Strand. They later appeared in the collection “The Great Keinplatz Experiment and Other Tales of Twilight and the Unseen” in 1919. They are: “The Brown Hand”, “Playing with Fire”, “How It Happened”, and “De Profundis”.

In questo racconto egli prende spunto dalla città perduta di Atlantide per riflettere su quello che, si dice, abbia portato quella grande civiltà alla catastrofe: una grande decadenza in cui le forze del Male avrebbero prevalso, e si sarebbero quindi attratte una giusta distruzione. Anche se, nella descrizione della città sommersa, c’è più fantasia che fantascienza, pure il fenomeno della proiezione del pensiero è assolutamente ben accetto anche ai lettori di fantascienza di quasi un secolo dopo.

El mundo perdido es una novela del escritor escocés Arthur Conan Doyle, sobre una expedición a una meseta sudamericana en donde aún sobreviven animales prehistóricos.​ Fue publicada en 1912 e introdujo al conocido personaje del profesor Challenger. Para tratarse de un relato de ficción ambientado en tiempos remotos, el episodio que trata sobre los dinosaurios es sorprendentemente corto: muchas más páginas están dedicadas a una batalla entre una tribu de hombres prehistóricos y un grupo de violentos homínidos primitivos.

The Land of Mist reacquaints listeners with Professor Challenger as an avid Spiritualist.

A subtitle of this book is “The Lost World Under the Sea,” and it’s somewhat based on the famed legend of Atlantis. That was an ancient city or continent that was supposedly inundated by the sea. Whether it actually existed has been a question that has lasted for thousands of years. Greek philosopher Plato wrote about it around 360 BC, so even his possible information was second-hand. Tsunamis (sea storms) have existed for centuries and if there really was an Atlantis, any survivors may have fled inland and built new cities.
