Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote many more novels, stories, and works
of nonfiction than the immortal tales of Sherlock Holmes. His
interests, also, were broad-ranging. Conan Doyle became outraged
upon learning of the abuses of human life that were committed as a
result of Belgian King Leopold II's efforts to conquer and strip
the Congo of its natural resources. In little more than a week in
1909, he documented the human rights abuses in "The Crime of the
Congo." Two of the reformers who led the effort to stop the carnage
in Africa were Edmund Dene Morel and Roger Casement, upon whom
Conan Doyle based the characters of ""Edward Malone and Lord John
Roxton in "The Lost World." Although these two were later
discredited, and Conan Doyle repudiated them, his involvement with
the tragedy of the Belgian Congo not only influenced "The Crime of
the Congo," but also his classic, "The Lost World."
