With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Research Professor of English at the University of Sussex.

These lively, diverse, and provocative science fiction stories (from the era of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells) are linked by the imposing central character, the combatively adventurous and outrageous Professor Challenger. The Lost World (precursor of Jurassic Park) vividly depicts a perilous area where explorers encounter creations from the prehistoric era. The Poison Belt presents an unusual disaster scenario, while The Disintegration Machine satirizes scientific cynicism.

In When the World Screamed, the planet reacts violently to an experimental interference. The strangest piece is The Land of Mist, which seeks to reconcile science with spiritualism. This unforgettable collection offers fantastic entertainment, captivating escape, and bold challenge.
