Paul Cook Libros

Dobrodružný román inšpirujúci mnohé generácie čitateľov, aby sa stali slávnymi bádateľmi. Mladý novinár E.D. Malone, s úmyslom očariť ženu svojich snov, túži po dobrodružstve. Prihlási sa k výprave výstredného profesora Challengera, ktorý tvrdí, že objavil náhornú plošinu skrytú uprostred juhoamerickej džungle, v ktorej ešte žijú prehistorické tvory. Nikto mu neverí a stáva sa terčom všeobecného výsmechu. Štyria odvážlivci počas expedície v ťažko prístupných pralesoch povodia Amazónky zažijú neuveriteľné dobrodružstvá. Od chvíle, keď sa vydávajú na americký kontinent, Malone začína písať príbeh formou listov – reportáží. Ocitnú sa v nebezpečnom svete druhohôr plnom obrovských dinosaurov, gigantických rastlín a starodávnej civilizácie. Podarí sa im získať presvedčivé dôkazy a šťastne sa vrátiť domov? Stratený svet nestratil nič zo svojho čara ani po 100 rokoch a rozhodne má čo ponúknuť aj dnes.

But what will they discover once they have emerged into the sunlight?
