In the midst of World War I, German and French explorers discover a vast, mysterious Pacific island where they encounter a race of "missing links" that time forgot. But they also bring to that peaceful utopia the ravages of the bloodiest war ever fought.
The Children of the Crab (1921) shares some common themes with
Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic The Land That Time Forgot (1918).
It depicts a lost Polynesian island culture, halfway between nature and
civilization, made up of intelligent anthropoids in an intermediate state
between humans and apes. This philosophical fantasy is no less timely
now than it was in 1921, especially as humanity deals with the ecological
holocaust, the continuation and intensification of which the story predicted.
