"The Land That Time Forgot" is a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of
his Caspak trilogy. The story was first published in Blue Book Magazine as a
three-part serial in 1918. The novel is set in World War I and opens with a
framing story in which a manuscript relating the main story is recovered from
a thermos off the coast of Greenland. The story ultimately develops into a
lost world story reminiscent of such novels as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The
Lost World and Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island and Journey to the Center
of the Earth. The novel features a unique biological system for the lost
world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is
recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. The novel was adapted
to film in 1974 and inspired two more Burroughs adaptations. A second film
adaptation of the same name was released in 2009. In July 2016, publisher
American Mythology Productions released a comic book sequel by writer Mike
Wolfer and artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo. The copyright for this story has
expired in the United States and, thus, now resides in the public domain
there.
