Summary |
"Kadonnut maailma" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of explorers, including Professor George E. Challenger, Lord John Roxton, Professor Summerlee, and Mr. E. D. Malone, who embark on an expedition that promises to reveal extraordinary adventures, possibly involving lost worlds and fantastical creatures, echoing themes of discovery and survival. The opening of the book introduces Mr. E. D. Malone, who is enamored with Gladys Hungerton, the daughter of a rather pompous man, Mr. Hungerton. Malone's romantic interest is complicated as he feels the pressure to distinguish himself in his career as a reporter and garner Gladys's affection. In a conversation with Gladys, he learns of her admiration for heroic deeds and adventurous men, which spurs his determination to undertake a remarkable challenge worthy of her love. This sets the stage for Malone’s ambitions and foreshadows the extraordinary journey that awaits him with the notorious Professor Challenger, hinting at the confrontations, escapades, and discoveries to come.
