Story
Another novel of the Challenger cycle , but its plot unfolds mainly around the daughter of Professor Enid and his old friend, correspondent Edward Melone. Another character in The Lost World , Lord John Roxton, also appears in the second half of the novel. The book was written by A. Conan Doyle in a state of depression after the death of a number of close relatives (son, brother and two nephews), which contributed to his craving for spiritualism and affected the development of the plot, where E. Melone shows first a professional, and then a personal interest in spiritualism . Enid, together with Melone, explored the teachings of the spiritualists, and later became his followers . It turned out that Enid was the strongest medium , and it was the daughter’s extraordinary abilities that made Professor Challenger reconsider his materialistic views. Subsequently, Enid married Edward Melone.
