About this listen
The Land That Time Forgot is Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1918 novel of a lost continent, the first book of the Caspak trilogy and one of the earliest sustained treatments of a land where evolution itself has never finished. It opens as a manuscript found in a bottle, and it is told by Bowen J. Tyler, Jr., a young American who has just survived a submarine war in the Atlantic.
The frame is the First World War. Tyler is picked up by a British tug after his ship is torpedoed, and the tug is in turn taken by the German submarine U-33, whose commander, Baron von Schoenvorts, is a cultivated man and a cold one. The prisoners — Tyler, the English gunner Whitely, the Irish engineer Olson, the American Bradley, and a handful of sailors — take the submarine in a fight below decks, but they cannot navigate her, and a chain of blunders drives them south into an unknown current.
They come out into a warm sea under a hazy sun, and sight land: Caprona, a walled island continent cut off from the rest of the world since the Miocene. Inside the cliff wall, the past is still alive and is still unfolding. There are cycads and tree-ferns, and there are dinosaurs; there are tribes of men at every stage of the ascent — the speechless ape-men of the cliffs, the hatchet-men, the Band-lu, the Galu — and there is a German garrison's worth of twentieth-century ambition set loose among them.
Tyler falls in with Lys La R. Tyler, an English girl from the tug, and the two of them are separated, hunted, and reunited across a country that is at once Eden and a slaughterhouse. Von Schoenvorts allies himself with the least human of the tribes and turns the submarine's guns on the others; Olson and Whitely die hard; and the book ends with the survivors' account signed and sealed and left for whoever finds the bottle.
