The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

(This is essay  by my brother).

Edward Malone, a reporter for Daily Gazette, wanted to impress a woman named Gladys Hugerton by doing something extraordinary. He came to his editor McAedle to ask for some "special" assignment. McArdle tasked Malone with interviewing professor George Challenger, who was famous for hating journalists and being close to a "mad scientist". That interview ended in a fight after which, however, Challenger told his story. He said that he visited a place in South America no one has been in, and that he saw dinosaurs there. That's why no one believed him and he had such a bad reputation. Challenger also planned another expedition there to show that he told the truth. On this expedition, he took: a skeptical professor Summerlee; Lord John Roxton, a famous adventure; and Malone.

During this expedition, these men, while, not believing at first, started being more open-minded after a pterodactyl stole their lunch. Later on, they saw many more dinosaurs, as well as strange and aggressive ape-men. In order to defeat them, the expedition joined forces with the native tribe they met there calling themselves "the Accala". With the help of the Accala, the expedition managed to be victorious.

And so, after a long expedition, the men returned home. And still nobody believed, although they had to take their words back when the expedition showed the peope a live pterodactyl.

Malone, now famous, returned to Gladys, only to find out that she married another man. Now nothing kept him home, so Malone joined Lord Roxton's next voyage to "the Lost World".
