* Illustrated
(This title belongs to the STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES series. The STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES comprise an illustrated selection of classic Victorian speculative fiction, with each title being chosen for its quality, modern appeal and resonance with the steampunk movement of retro-futurism.)
CARNOSAURS AND PTERODACTYLS abound in Episode 9 of the STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES, THE LOST WORLD. THE LOST WORLD is not only the inspiration for Jurassic Park; it is an epic foray into a savage wilderness in which the fearless Professor Challenger leads an expedition against all odds to prove to the world that dinosaurs still exist. How? By capturing one, of course! A steamer voyage across the Atlantic brings English dash and technology into brutal conflict with tooth and claw. One of the greatest stories of the era, told by no other than the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Enriching and supplementing Wonderland Imprints’ well-received series of classic Illustrated Master Editions, the STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES series is devoted to reviving the very finest forgotten rarities which were originally published during the golden age of technology. The series explores the origins of retro-futurist elements, such as airships, mechanical men, goggled gentlemen of war, sophisticated adventuresses, gadgetry and weaponry, and global cataclysm. These are the tales of the Age of Steam, the lore of the ornate technology which reigned in a golden future that never was. Above all, this series is focused on telling great Victorian stories you’ve probably never heard of!
(Contains the novel in full, with 16 chapters, 76,000 words, 260 pages, with 64 illustrations.)
