Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.

Good book.

[spyderman58 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is one of the best of all the Tarzan books. ERB has a wonderful way of bringing in sub sculptures into his stories that would seem impossible to bring in. The medieval presence in this book was truly amazing? Loved it!

In this Tarzan novel by Burroughs the protagonist of the story is an American named James Blake. Blake while on expedition in the Congo becomes lost all the while Arab slave traders are also invading what Tarzan perceives as his jungle. Tarzan orders both the American hunter, Blake, and the Arab slave trader to leave his jungle. But as the story progresses they are all trapped in an environment of ancient medieval cities locked in time and still fighting and living as they did seven hundred and fifty years earlier. These two cities founded by Crusaders are were Tarzan comes to the rescue by becoming involved in the Joust and earning the respect of the Knights. Of the twenty four Tarzan novels by Burroughs I have read this move from the jungle does not work as well as the first time Tarzan encountered a loss civilization and being out of his element this time does not enhance the Tarzan story line.But in the end we have the Tarzan of the jungle that we know with his Golden Lion.
