A proposito di questo titolo
The People That Time Forgot is Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1918 novel, the second book of the Caspak trilogy that opened with The Land That Time Forgot and closed with Out of Time's Abyss. Where the first book took a whole expedition into the walled island continent and ended with Bowen Tyler still inside it, this one is the account of the man who went back for him.
The book opens outside Caspak. Bowen Tyler's manuscript has been carried a long way to be put into the hands of his father, and while the father's assistant secretary and the man who brought it talk it over, word arrives that Tyler's father has died at sea. The relief expedition he had been arranging goes ahead without him: forty men, the yacht Toreador, and Tom Billings — his late secretary, and Tyler's friend from college — in charge of the landing. Billings flies a plane over the cliffs alone; when two weeks pass with no signal, what follows is his own first-person record of the country inside.
Inside, Billings finds the country the first book only glimpsed from the air: a ladder of tribes ranked by how far each has climbed from the brute, Band-lu at the bottom, then Kro-lu, then the Galu, with the winged Wieroo above and behind them all. He falls in with Ajor, a Galu girl of the cos-ata-lo, and moves up that ladder by stages — first among the Band-lu, then among the Kro-lu, where an old warrior named Chal-az and the Kro-lu chief Al-tan decide what to do with him.
The last movement of the book is the Wieroo: the white-robed winged people who take what they want from every tribe below them, and whose alliance with a Galu rival named Du-seen turns Ajor's own people into the instrument of her capture. Billings's search for Tyler and his attempt to keep Ajor out of the Wieroo's hands run together into the close, where the two threads of the trilogy finally meet.
