Heart Of Darkness
While you're in the cave for the second time, Heart of Darkness is the second book you will find in the secret room. I found this info on wikipedia.

Heart of Darkness is a novella by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature and part of the Western canon.

This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Charlie Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary.

The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company, on what readers may assume is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II; the country is never specifically named. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

the only referances to lost here I think is obviously the main character of the book is called Charlie Marlow - Similiar to Elliot Maslow?

I found these references throughout the show to A Heart of Darkness

* Jack asks Kate "Tell me something, how come every time there's a hike into the heart of darkness you sign up?" when Kate volunteers to go on the boar hunt with Locke. ("Walkabout")
* Charlie tells Hurley, "One minute you're happy-go-lucky, good-time Hurley, and the next you're Colonel bloody Kurtz!" ("Numbers")
* Sawyer refers to John as "Colonel Kurtz" ("Confirmed Dead")
Colonel Kurtz is a character in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, which is loosely based on Heart of Darkness.

Alice in Wonderland
While in the caves for the second time, there's a secret room past a few waterfalls. Inside is two books, one of which is Alice in Wonderland. Anyone that reads up on every episode will know Alice in Wonderland has been referenced to many times in the past.

* In "White Rabbit", "Jack and Locke discuss Jack's 'hallucination', and Locke advises that he should pursue (his father's elusive image), symbolically comparing it to the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Locke tells Jack to put it to rest, and consider the possibility that everything that is happening on the Island happens for a reason. He then tells Jack 'I looked into the eye of the Island, and what I saw ... was beautiful', referring to his encounter with the Monster in "Walkabout"". ("White Rabbit"). The title of the episode is of course also a reference to the novel. ("White Rabbit")
* 4 is an important number in this book, as the real Alice Liddell was born on May 4, 1852.
* 42 was used in numerous books by Carroll and is thought to hold special meaning for him. The first "Alice" book had 42 illustrations and Alice's age is "Through the Looking-Glass" is 7 years and six months (6 x 7 =42).
* In "The Man Behind the Curtain", there are several "Alice" references: Ben releases a white rabbit to check the safety of crossing through the sonic fence which leads to another world (the world of the "Others." Ben follows the rabbit, and it is like when Alice follows the white rabbit down the rabbit-hole which leads to Wonderland. Ben's mother, Emily is seen wearing a blue/white dress with matching headband and long blonde hair. This is very similar to the costuming in Tenniel's original illustrations and in Disney's film adaptation.
* The Island is home to unusual creatures, such as polar bears. Wonderland is also home to odd creatures--extinct Dodo birds, mythical gryphons, etc.
* In "Alice in Wonderland," a baby boy turns into a pig. Sawyer is convinced that Frank Duckett's spirit inhabits the body of a boar. ("Outlaws")
* The Looking Glass station insignia (a white rabbit and watch) is a reference to this book. When Alice first sees the White Rabbit, she is struck by the fact that he is checking his watch. '...suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her....when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it...' [Emphasis in original].

The Odyssey
The Odyssey (Greek: Οδύσσεια / Odússeia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. The poem is commonly dated circa 700 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to Homer's Iliad and mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths) and his long journey home to Ithaca following the fall of Troy.

It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War.[1] During this absence, his son Telemachus and wife Penelope must deal with a group of unruly suitors who have moved into Odysseus's home to compete for Penelope's hand in marriage, since most have assumed that Odysseus has died.

The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon and continues to be read in Homeric Greek and translated into modern languages around the world. The original poem was composed in an oral tradition by an aoidos perhaps a rhapsode. The details of the ancient oral performance, and the story's conversion to a written work inspire continual debate among scholars. The Odyssey was written in a regionless poetic dialect of Greek and comprises 12,110 lines of dactylic hexameter. Among the most impressive elements of the text are its strikingly modern non-linear plot, and the fact that events are shown to depend as much on the choices made by women and serfs as on the actions of fighting men. In the English language as well as many others, the word odyssey has come to refer to an epic voyage

I have previously discussed the Odyssey with a few friends on another Forum. It seems to have direct links to our story between Desmond and Penny (Penelope). Desmond having left not to goto war on a boat, but to travel around the world on a boat. he goes missing, and Penny has no idea where he is.
Some more links to LOST
* Penelope and her son wait for the return of Odyseus in ithica along with 108 suitors
* The goddess Athena (Protector of odysseus) discusses his fate with zeus, King of the Gods. how about Mrs Hawking (Flashes Before your eyes) and The Head Monk (Catch-22)? We know they are somehow related as they were both seen in a photo in the monks office. We also know they have shaped Desmond's fate.

"You MUST goto that island, and enter the numbers into the computer for 3 years. If you dont, Every single one of us is DEAD"

A Turn of the Screw
* In the Swan, Desmond tells Jack and Locke that the DHARMA Initiative orientation film is on the shelf behind this book. ("Orientation")
* Manny Weissman compares The Turn of the Screw to other detective novels. (Bad Twin)]]> 1206965864 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:17:44 -0500 http://www.lostviadomus.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1206965562&archive=

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge Lost fan, I absolutely love the television show. So I went into this game with really high hopes and expectations of what i wanted due to the story line that I am familiar with. You start of the game really on show one of season one. Now I know what your thinking, damn, I do not want to play the story that I have already watched, but Ubisoft has you covered on that because you actually play a new character. You play a man that has suffered amnesia from the plane crash and spend the first few levels trying to find out who you are and thats really all I am going to say about that because I do not want to spoil any of the storyline for you. So the game itself takes place over the first season of Lost and kind of ends there as well, but lets just get right into the scoring of the game.
