In Jules Verne's book, published in 1864, the creatures live under the earth in and around a subterranean sea. The idea of prehistoric animals surviving into the present day was not new, but had already been introduced by Jules Verne in Journey to the Center of the Earth. The novel also describes a war between indigenous people and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. It was originally published serially in the Strand Magazine and illustrated by New-Zealand-born artist Harry Rountree during the months of April-November 1912. The Lost World is a science fiction novel by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1912, concerning an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America where prehistoric animals still survive.
