When the World Screamed

32 pages

I had a vague recollection of having heard my friend Edward
Malone, of the Gazette, speak of Professor Challenger, with
whom he had been associated in some remarkable adventures.
I am so busy, however, with my own profession, and my firm
has been so overtaxed with orders, that I know little of what is
going on in the world outside my own special interests. My
general recollection was that Challenger has been depicted as
a wild genius of a violent and intolerant disposition.
