Produktbeschreibung
The first book in his Caspak trilogy, The Land That Time Forgot, is a fantasy book by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The first chapter of the book, which takes place during World War I, is framed by the discovery of a manuscript recounting the plot from a thermos off the shore of Greenland. It claims to be the story of Bowen J. Tyler, an American passenger who was sunk by the German U-boat U-33 in the English Channel in 1916. By the time the saboteur is discovered, the submarine has already entered the Antarctic seas after being led off course. A group of beast men assault the castaways and capture Ahm, a Neanderthal Man. They discover that the island's indigenous name is Caspak. They find oil, which they intend to convert into U-33 fuel. Tyler departs from the other survivors to find Lys and save her. The many bands of near-human primitives, each of which represents a distinct stage of human development, engage in a series of adventures.

His works defined the adventure genre in pulp fiction and captivated readers with tales of exotic worlds. In addition to Tarzan, he created the Barsoom and Pellucidar series, blending science fiction and fantasy.Despite mixed critical reception, Burroughs became one of the most successful authors of his time, writing hundreds of novels, short stories, and articles.
