IN this trilogy, which includes "The Land that Time Forgot," "The People that Time Forgot," and "Out of Time's Abyss," we have Burroughs at his very best. This adventure streaks onward like a bullet to its jaw-dropping end. The trilogy, set during World War I, begins with the discovery of Bowen J. Tyler's worn manuscript floating in a bottle off the coast of Greenland. The manuscript reveals that Bowen and his companions were taken captive by a German submarine. The harrowing submarine ride leads to the discovery of a subterranean passageway to a most incredible land. This land, called Caspak by its inhabitants, is a microcosm of millions of years of evolutionary progress - with winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles. Ray Bradbury was a huge fan of Burroughs, as can be seen in the following quote: "We may have liked Verne and Wells and Kipling, but we loved, we adored, we went quite mad with Mr. Burroughs." Bradbury was certainly not alone in his admiration of Burroughs as over the years countless directors, producers, actors, and writers have drawn inspiration from his writings. Burroughs' in uence can still be seen nearly 60 years after his death. Spielberg's "Jurassic Park," Peter Jackson's "King Kong," and Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Burroughs. This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.

エドガー・ライス・バローズの本作は、進化の縮図を舞台にした生命の叙事詩です。文明崩壊の危機の中、原始の暴力と神秘が共生する異界を描く筆致は、弾丸のような疾走感に満ちています。種としての闘争を哲学的に捉えた視点こそが、本作を単なる冒険譚ではなく不朽の文学へと昇華させている本質的な魅力です。 映像化作品が視覚的驚異を強調する一方、原作の真髄は文字から立ち上がる緻密な生態系と、極限下で剥き出しになる人間の内面描写にあります。映画が「形」を示すなら、本は「生命の理」を魂に刻みます。映像の衝撃を入り口に本書を紐解けば、想像力が極限まで拡張される極上の体験が待っているはずです。
