Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1913. Early printing of the second book about Professor Challenger. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, with 16 Illustrations by Harry Rountree. In very good condition. Small ownership name. The second book about Professor Challenger, The Poison Belt takes place in a single room in Challenger's house in Sussex. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to influence his writing. The BBC aired a radio drama version of the story in 1944, as a sequel to their well-received adaptation of The Lost World that spring.
Sinopsis
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Poison Belt follows on from The Lost World, but this time Professor Challenger trades the jungle setting for a room in his own house. Edward Malone, Lord John Roxton, and Professor Summerlee arrive at the Professor's home, each with a tank of oxygen - the result of receiving a puzzling behest from Challenger via telegraph. Challenger and his wife usher them into a sealed room - in his research the Professor has predicted that a poisonous ether belt is about to reach the earth and quite likely cause the end of the humanity.
