Hello and welcome to Episode 57. Today, we begin our long-awaited journey into The Lost World, Conan Doyle’s celebrated adventure novel which introduced Professor George Edward Challenger to the reading public. Read the story here: https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/The_Lost_World The episode will be uploaded to our YouTube channel soon, where you can listen with closed captions. In the meantime, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle And follow us @doingsofdoyle.com on BlueSky. Synopsis Edward Dunn Malone is a lowly young journalist at the Daily Gazette whose heart’s desire is to win the hand of the beautiful but exacting Gladys Hungerton. She, however, finds Malone lacking in ambition and the requisite spirit of manly competitiveness. She will only bow before another Burton or Stanley, and Malone must venture into the world to discover and conquer before she will consider his approaches. Luckily, his editor, McArdle, gives him the ideal opportunity by introducing him to the irascible, combative and press-hating Professor George Challenger who claims to have found evidence of the continued existence of prehistoric life in South America. Upon first approaching Challenger, Malone is thrown down the professor’s stairs. Then, in a surprising turn of events, he is given the opportunity to join a new expedition to the Amazon to prove – or refute – Challenger’s outlandish assertions… Next time We hope to be joined by an interview guest before we return to The Lost World in the new year.
