In Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel The Lost World, journalist Edward Malone travels with Professor George Challenger to South America to prove the existence of creatures that Challenger claims are dinosaurs. Read this excerpt from the story.

The first thing which I saw filled me with amazement . . . . I saw discs of light in every direction, ruddy, clearly-defined patches, like the port-holes of a liner in the darkness. For a moment I thought it was the lava-glow from some volcanic action; but this could not be so. Any volcanic action would surely be down in the hollow and not high among the rocks. What, then, was the alternative? It was wonderful, and yet it must surely be. These ruddy spots must be the reflection of fires within the caves . . . . There were human beings, then, upon the plateau. How gloriously my expedition was justified! Here was news indeed for us to bear back with us to London! . . .
