Summary "The Lost Race" by Robert E. Howard is a fantasy novella published in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows a Briton named Cororuc who becomes entangled in a conflict involving a mysterious ancient race of Picts following his encounter with bandits in an ominous forest. The narrative explores themes of survival, cultural conflict, and the lost histories of ancient peoples. The story begins with Cororuc fleeing from the menacing bandit chief Buruc and his henchmen in a dark forest. After a fierce confrontation, he is captured by a tribe of small, dark-complexioned Picts who reveal their history of subjugation and resentment against the Celts. The ancient Pictish leader accuses Cororuc's race of the downfall of their civilization and prepares to execute him as a symbolic act of vengeance. However, the intervention of a wolf who turns out to be a Pict in disguise saves Cororuc's life and leads him to safety, revealing a complex history of conflict and camaraderie amid the remnants of a once-great race. Ultimately, Cororuc is given gifts and direction back to his people, shaping his journey between worlds so closely tied yet at odds with one another. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
