| Summary | "The Land That Time Forgot" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written during the early 20th century that blends adventure and science fiction. The story starts with a gripping account of the protagonist, a young shipbuilder named Bowen Tyler, whose journey takes a dramatic turn during World War I. After surviving a torpedo attack on an American liner, Tyler finds himself stranded in a mysterious and primordial land where prehistoric creatures roam, leading him to face both external dangers and internal conflicts. At the start of the novel, Tyler's ill-fated adventure unfolds as he recounts his experiences aboard a ship that is attacked by a German submarine. He plunges into the sea amidst chaos and manages to rescue a beautiful woman, Lys, from certain death. As they navigate their way through the aftermath of destruction, their growing bond and the threat posed by the submarine's crew, including Baron von Schoenvorts—Lys’s former fiancé—set the stage for a series of thrilling escapades. The opening sets up not only the immediate peril but also hints at the enigmatic and dangerous world of Caprona waiting for them, suggesting that their journey will be filled with unforeseen challenges and discoveries.
