Part of his famous African novels (Sanders of the River series), this volume is highly recommended for those who have read and enjoyed others in the series, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection.

The Lost World

Arthur Conan Doyle

The restless, questing intellect of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle spurred him far beyond the ingenious puzzles he constructed for Sherlock Holmes. Arthur Conan Doyles The Lost World focuses on a story about an expedition in the South American Rainforest, leading its four protagonists on a plateau which seems to surround a world believed to be long-gone. Professor Challenger is the one defending his findings, Professor Summerlee is the skeptic, and there are two unbiased observers: the guide, Lord John Roxton, and a reporter Ned Malone, who also servers as the Narrator of the story. Confronted with dinosaurs like pterodactyls, iguanodons or stegosaurus, our main characters have to solve many difficult or even dramatic situations, and its one enjoyable thing to read it. Originally published in 1912, this imaginative fantasy unfolds with humor and good-natured satirical eye for pedantry.

Jedoch der Roman erzählt auf mehreren Handlungsebenenn die spannend-abenteuerliche Geschichte um Max Brandauer, den Sohn des königlichen Hofschmieds von Norland, und seinen Freund Arthur von Sternburg, den Gegenspieler des tollen Prinzen von Süderland, sowie auf einer anderen Zeitebene die Geschichte von Katombo, dem ehemaligen Geliebten der geheimnisvollen Zigeunerin Zarba, dessen Flucht vor dem intriganten und mächtigen Herzog von Raumburg ihn bis an die Ufer des Nils führt, wo er als Schwarzer Kapitän ein phantastisches Schicksal als Seeräuber erlebt. Scepter und Hammer ist ein Abenteueroman, der alle typischen Mittel der Kolportage wie familiäre Verstrickungen, Verschwörungen, Geheimbünde und das Motiv der Verfolgung rund um die Erde in einem spannungsreichen Bilderbogen zur Anwendung bringt.
