The Land That Time Forgot

Description

Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the few authors who have truly brought a significant contribution to the pulp genre early on, and haven’t stopped throughout their careers. Books like Tarzan of the Apes and Princess of Mars became practically embedded into the psyche of readers throughout the early 20th century and for many of the following decades as well.

Burroughs’ mesmerizing style and impressive writing skill can be seen in their full beauty and intricacy in The Land That Time Forgot. Although this book doesn’t introduce us to Tarzan, space travel or unusual and fascinating alien races, it is a unique read in and of itself, painting a remarkable picture of the prehistoric world, and building an engaging plot that continues to captivate readers even today.

The story is about a group of men alongside their captives, who try to evade their enemies by means of a submarine. However, in their haste, they end up in a strange land that defies any scientific explanation or historical mention. They are greeted by large sea creatures and strange people with their primitive cultures, and after seeing the wild, untamed land that shows no sign of civilization, they begin wondering if they could even survive here.

The author’s distinctive, dynamic and well-organized writing style is present throughout this exciting and fast-paced book, bringing Burroughs fans into familiar territory. Even those who aren’t used to Burroughs’ unexpected plot twists and frequent changes of pace can still relate to the story, and adapt to the narrative with relative ease.

Whether you’re a fierce E.R. Burroughs fan, and want this book for your collection, or you’ve just stumbled upon the Land That Time Forgot by accident, you’ll find from reading even just the first few pages, that you have in your hands a true gem of early 20th century pulp fiction.
