Beschreibung
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was a legendarily prolific American author, writing over eighty books in thirty-six years. While best known as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, his Caspak trilogy, first serialized in 1918, is widely considered his most imaginative. Beginning with the propulsive The Land That Time Forgot, the recovery of a manuscript along the coast of Greenland chronicles the exploits of Bowen J. Tyler and Lys La Rue, who, together with other survivors of ships torpedoed in the English Channel, commandeer the German U-boat responsible for the carnage only for saboteurs to send them drifting into Antarctic waters where they're drawn magnetically to the mysterious and uncharted island of Caprona. There, far greater dangers than the mutinous German crew will threaten their survival, and the island's ecosystem will defy everything they thought they knew about science and evolution.
