| Summary | "The Lost Explorers: A Story of the Trackless Desert" by Alexander MacDonald is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the adventurous journey of two young men, Robert Wentworth and Jack Armstrong, who long for excitement and fortune, leading them to embark on a perilous expedition in the Australian outback. Their story is intertwined with themes of exploration, personal growth, and the pursuit of gold in the untamed wilderness. At the start of the novel, we meet Wentworth and Armstrong, who are discontented with their mundane lives in England and dream of adventure in Australia after hearing of an explorer's horror story involving a massacre. The two friends decide to leave their engineering positions when they learn of the potential for gold in Central Australia and receive guidance from a charismatic survivor of an earlier expedition, James Mackay. This initial chapter establishes their ambitious plans and sets the stage for their forthcoming challenges in the harsh desert environment, promising readers a tale steeped in adventure, camaraderie, and the unyielding spirit of exploration.
