Summary up to 500 words
In Edgar Rice Burroughs' *The People that Time Forgot*, the narrative begins with the tragic death of Bowen Tyler, Sr., prompting his secretary, Tom Billings, to lead a desperate expedition to the South Pacific. Following clues in Bowen's manuscript, the crew locates the mythical island of Caprona, a prehistoric crater world accessible only through a submerged tunnel. Upon landing, they discover a timeless society of primitive tribes, the Galus, living alongside dinosaurs and giant beasts. The expedition faces treacherous terrain, including impassable cliffs that must be scaled using hydro-aeroplanes and electric drills. Inside Caspak, the party encounters the Band-lu and Kro-lu tribes, witnessing a brutal social evolution where individuals must kill to ascend to higher ranks. The story focuses heavily on Billings' interactions with the fierce but noble warrior To-mar and his companion, Ajor. After a harrowing escape from a swamp where Ajor is nearly killed by a renegade Galu, Billings' party is reunited with Bowen Tyler and his fiancée, Lys La Rue, who had successfully crossed the cliffs and found refuge among the Galus. The narrative details the reunion of the lost party and the defeat of hostile tribes. The story concludes with Billings' emotional decision to remain in Caspak with Ajor, leaving his friends behind to protect her from the cruel laws of her world, while Bowen and Lys prepare to return to the modern world.
