Three questions raised in Lost World Narratives are:

 

1.       Is the primitive more evolved than modern man? 

2.       Is there a place where the modern world is reshape-able, free from the cost of sin? 

3.       Can the main character reshape self free of past?

Book Reviews The People That Time Forgot part Two of the Caspak Series: The Land That Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot, and Out of Time's Abyss

The present rubbed legs with the past, it set a strange milieu.  Edgar Rice Burroughs leads a tour of Caprona.  He leads us through strange lands amidst noble savages and sub-humans.   The book is a Caprona tour, but lacks action to be exciting.  It makes me wonder if he was forced to write this one.  

(I listened to this on libri vox read by  Ralph Snelson)

Caveat lector, the ideas of the early 20th century are not of our own, and may offend those with politically correct notions.

The Land That Time Forgot Part One of the Capak Series

The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fun read, but not as good as the LOST WORLD by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.   The characters seemed flat and cartoonish.  It is difficult to feel heartedly for cartoons.   However, the overall story arch is classic adventure tale and can be a delightful journey.   Two movies are available on Netflix for your viewing.

Caveat Lector: the ideas of the early 20th century  are not of our own, and may offend those with politically correct notions.  Feminists may be offended by the seeming lack of respect paid towards women of this period.
