Four scientists—the cream of European science—set off on a daring expedition… Their path leads deep into the gloomy swamps of Belgian Congo, into an unknown land where specimens of plants and mollusks thought extinct everywhere on Earth were found.
But the expedition awaits a tragic ending. A young traveler and adventurer, Leon Béran, rushes to search for the missing scientists.
What extraordinary adventures will he face in the uncharted wilderness of Africa? The gripping novel by R. T. de Barjé continues the tradition of A. Conan Doyle’s “The Lost World” in a worthy way. The book “In the Land of the Past” opens, in the Polaris series, a run of publications belonging to the genre of “lost worlds”—an old and forever new genre of fantastic and adventure literature.
