The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle is a classic adventure novel that follows a group of explorers as they journey to a remote plateau in South America where prehistoric creatures still roam. Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name is a modern reimagining of Doyle’s story, set in a fictional island off the coast of Costa Rica where genetically engineered dinosaurs run amok. Both novels explore themes of scientific discovery, human ambition, and the consequences of tampering with nature.
