The family of the future writer experienced
serious financial difficulties - solely because of
the strange behavior of his father, who not only
suffered from alcoholism, but also had an
extremely unstable psyche. Arthur spent his
school life at the Godder preparatory school.
When the boy was nine years old, wealthy
relatives offered to pay for his education and
sent him for the next seven years to the Jesuit
closed college Stonyhurst (Lancashire), from
where the future writer took away his hatred of
religious and class prejudices, as well as
physical punishment.

In 1876, Arthur graduated from college and returned home: the
first thing he had to do was to rewrite his father's papers in his
own name, as by that time he had almost completely lost his mind.
The writer later recounted the dramatic circumstances of Doyle
Sr.'s imprisonment in a mental hospital in his story The Surgeon of
Gaster Fell, 1880. Doyle preferred a medical career to pursuing art
(to which his family tradition predisposed him): in 1881, largely
under the influence of Brian C. Waller, a young doctor to whom his
mother rented a room in the house. Doyle became an intern and
graduated from the Medical Faculty of the University of Edinburgh
that same year. Doyle spent the next 5 years working in a private
clinic, studying psychology, and his idols were Jung, Nietzsche, and
Freud. Dr. Waller received his education at the University of
Edinburgh: Arthur Doyle went there to receive further education.
Among the future writers he met here were James Barrie and
Robert Louis Stevenson.

From February to September 1880, Doyle spent seven months as a
ship's doctor in Arctic waters aboard the whaler Hope, receiving a
total of £50 for his work. "I went on board that ship a big, clumsy boy
and came down the gangway a strong man," he later wrote in his
autobiography. His impressions of the Arctic voyage formed the basis
for his short story "Captain of the Pole-Star." Two years later, he
made a similar voyage to the West Coast of Africa aboard the
steamer Mayumba, which sailed between Liverpool and the West
Coast of Africa.
After receiving his MD and Bachelor of Medicine
degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1881,
Conan Doyle began practicing medicine, first jointly
(with an extremely unscrupulous partner – this
experience was described in The Stark Munro Papers),
then individually, in Portsmouth. Finally, in 1881, Doyle
decided to make literature his main profession. In
January 1884, Cornhill Magazine published the story
"The Message of Hebecuck Jephson". At the same time,
he met his future wife, Mary Louise "Tooya" Hawkins;
the wedding took place on August 6, 1885. Louise
suffered from tuberculosis, and the couple moved into
Undershaw's house on the recommendation of doctors.

The writer spent the entire second half of the 1920s travelling, visiting all
continents, without ceasing his active journalistic work. Having visited England only
briefly in 1929 to celebrate his 70th birthday, Doyle went to Scandinavia with the same
goal - to preach "... the revival of religion and that direct, practical spiritualism which is
the only antidote to scientific materialism." This last trip undermined his health: he
spent the spring of the following year in bed, surrounded by loved ones.

7.

At some point, things improved: the writer immediately went to London to talk to the
Home Secretary about the repeal of the laws that persecuted mediums. This effort turned out
to be his last: in the early morning of July 7, 1930, Conan Doyle died of a heart attack at his
home in Crowborough, Sussex. He was buried near his garden house. At the request of his
widow, the knightly motto was engraved on his tombstone: Steel True, Blade Straight. He was
later reburied with his wife in Minstead, in the New Forest National Park.

THE
LOST
WORLD
Chapter 1. Malone falls in love with Gladys, who wants to marry the hero. He decides to
perform a heroic deed and is given the task of exposing Professor Challenger, who claims to
have seen dinosaurs in South America.
Chapter 2. Malone comes to Challenger, but the latter recognizes him as a journalist and
attacks him. Malone does not file a complaint against the professor, and the latter shows him
evidence of his discovery: part of a pterodactyl wing and a dinosaur bone.
Chapter 3. Malone publishes an article about Challenger and his claims. Professor
Summerlee, an authoritative paleontologist, expresses doubts about the authenticity of the
evidence and challenges Challenger to a debate at the Zoological Institute.
Chapter 4. Malone comes to the debate and meets Lord John Roxton, a famous hunter and
traveler who is also interested in the topic of the Lost World. Challenger and Summerlee
argue about the existence of prehistoric animals, but neither can give a definitive answer.
Chapter 5. Challenger announces that he is going to organize an expedition to the Lost World
and invites Summerlee to join him to test his words in practice. Summerlee agrees, and
Roxton and Malone are also accepted. Gladys refuses Malone, saying that he is not a hero,
but a madman.
Chapter 6. The expedition leaves for Brazil on the steamship "Esperanza". Along the way,
they meet a local journalist, Zamba Mackintosh, who tells them about the legends of the
Kukama Indians and the white man who lived among them and drew dinosaurs.

-Chapter 7. The expedition arrives in Para and boards the barge Geraldine, which takes them
along the Negro River to the village of Manaus. There they hire Indian guides and continue along
the tributaries of the Amazon to the village of Parasiti. -Chapter 8. The expedition reaches the village of Parasiti, where the Cucama Indians live. They
learn that the white man who painted the dinosaurs was the American artist Maple-White, who
died of a fever. They also receive directions from the Indians on how to get to the Lost World. -Chapter 9. The expedition sets off for the Lost World, but along the way they are attacked by
other Indians who do not want white people to invade their land. They kill one of the guides and
wound Roxton. The expedition continues on and finally sees a huge plateau surrounded by
steep cliffs. –
-Chapter 10. The expedition finds a path leading to the top of the plateau. They climb it, but
suddenly hear a loud roar and see a flock of pterodactyls descending from the plateau. One of
them grabs the guide Gomez and carries him into the air. Another pterodactyl breaks the rope
that Malone was climbing. He miraculously survives, but is cut off from the others.
-Chapter 11. Malone is left alone at the bottom of the gorge. He decides to look for another way
to climb the plateau. Along the way, he meets various animals, including a giant armadillo and a
megatherium. He also sees human footprints and spears with stone tips. He guesses that people
live on the plateau.
-Chapter 12. Malone finds a new path and climbs the plateau. There he meets Roxton, who has
also separated from Challenger and Summerlee. They decide to team up and look for their
comrades. Along the way, they see many different types of dinosaurs: stegosaurus,
apatosaurus, iguanodont, allosaurus, and tyrannosaur.

oChapter 13. Malone and Roxton find Challenger and Summerlee's camp, who are happy to see
their friends alive. They tell them about their observations of dinosaurs and other animals. They
also find traces of people: fires, animal bones, and strange signs on stones.
oChapter 14. The expedition decides to study human settlements on the plateau. They see two
types of people: tall Indians with red feathers in their hair and short anthropoid apes with black
woolly bodies. The Indians live in villages, and the apes in caves. There is a constant war
between them.
oChapter 15. The expedition witnesses an attack by apes on one of the Indian villages. They
decide to help the Indians and repel the attack of the apes. The Indians thank them for their help
and invite them to their village. There they meet the Indian chief, who calls himself Gomez. He
says that he is the son of the same guide Gomez, who was carried off by a pterodactyl. He says
that his father was a traitor who wanted to kill Challenger and take his evidence. He also says
that he knows a way to get down from the plateau and is ready to help the expedition.
oChapter 16. The expedition is preparing to leave. They decide to take with them some evidence
of their discovery: a pterodactyl egg, a dinosaur bone, and a live young pterodactyl. They also
take Maple-White with them, who turns out to be alive and well. He lived among the Indians and
drew dinosaurs. He tells them about his adventures and shows them his drawings. Gomez
leads them to a path that leads down from the plateau. They say goodbye to the Indians and set
off on their return journey. On the way, they meet Zamba Mackintosh, who is happy to see them
alive. He helps them get to Para and from there by steamer to London.
