Notă biografică

Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author of adventure novels who is popularly known for his fictional character, Tarzan. Burroughs belonged to a privileged family and became disappointed in his business profession. Hence, he took to writing sci-fi stories before coming up with the imagination of a young boy raised by apes in the African wilderness. The fundamental reason for the Tarzan stories didn't appear to have reasoning. However, the readers loved the concept of fiction. Tarzan turned out to be gigantically famous, and Burroughs became affluent as Tarzan's popularity expanded. His adventures got depicted in quiet movies, talkies, radio serials, funny cartoons, and in the long run TV programs. Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago, Illinois. His father was a successful businessman and Burroughs was instructed in private schools as a youngster. Along with going to the Michigan Military Academy, he simultaneously joined the U.S. Mounted force and served for a year in the American West. He didn't take to life in the military and utilized family associations to get out and get back to regular citizen life. Burroughs attempted a few business plans but finally settled down to working for the conspicuous retailer Sears, Roebuck, and Company. Disappointed at going into business, he took up writing to leave the business world. In 1911, when the general population was captivated by speculations about what gave off an impression of being waterways on the outer layer of Mars, Burroughs was enlivened to compose a story about the red planet. The story previously showed up in a sci-fi magazine, and at last, was distributed as a book under the title 'A Prince of Mars'. The story includes the character, John Carter, a Virginia courteous fellow who awakens on Mars. Several other books were followed after this book which had John Carter in them. While composing the books about an Earthman relocated to Mars, Burroughs concocted one more person put in odd environmental elements. His new creation, Tarzan, was the child of an English blue-blood whose family was marooned on the African coast. His mother passed away while his father was murdered, and the child, whose English name was John Clayton, was raised by apes who were not known to the rest of the world. As composed by Burroughs, Tarzan is a wild child who grows up untainted by the issues of civilization. However, his refined upbringing radiates through occasions that make him agreeable in cultivated society. One more character bought into the light by Burroughs was Tarzan's love interest (and inevitable spouse), Jane, the girl of an American teacher who becomes abandoned in the wilderness and encounters Tarzan. Edgar Rice Burroughs made a huge amount of money from Tarzan yet some awful business choices that included gambling not long before the Great Depression started, imperiled his wealth. He purchased a farm in California and named it Tarzana which for the most part lost money. (At the point when the close by local area joined, they involved Tarzana as the name of the town.) Continuously feeling short on funds, he composed Tarzan books at a fierce speed. He likewise got back to sci-fi, writing and publishing a few books set in the world of Venus. Using the experience of living in the West in his childhood, he composed four other western books. During World War II, Burroughs filled in as a conflict journalist in the South Pacific. Following the conflict, he battled an ailment and died due to a respiratory failure on March 19, 1950. The books of Edgar Rice Burroughs brought in cash, however, they were never viewed as genuine writing. Most critics excused them as mash experiences. He has additionally been condemned in ongoing a very long time for bigoted topics which show up in his works. In his accounts, the white characters are regularly better than the local people group of Africans. Tarzan, a white Englishman, regularly comes to overwhelm or effec...

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Tarzan of the Apes is the first story and origin of one of modern fiction's most enduring and mythic heroes. Raised in the savage jungle, young Lord Greystoke must reckon with brutal beasts and still crueler civilized enemies to understand and claim his human heritage. Viscount and Lady Greystoke survive a shipwreck on the jungle coast of Africa where their son is born. The couple perishes but the boy is taken in by a mother ape who recently lost her own child. Raised among apes and utterly unfamiliar with his humanity, young Tarzan discovers the cabin his father built and learns something of who he is and why he is so different from his ape companions. Pitted against a steady stream of daunting challenges, Tarzan will rise to rule his tribe of apes and encounter fellow humans at last, when another shipwreck maroons lovely Jane Porter and her comrades on his shore. By couching his extravagant imagination in clear, direct prose the author balances his novel on a razor edge between realistic drama and pure fairy tale. Tarzan remains a unique and indelible character, capable of terrifying acts of bestial violence or noble acts of loyalty and self-sacrifice. Originally serialized in a magazine in 1912, Tarzan of the Apes was issued in book form in 1914, the first volume in what would become a series of 24 books and a pop culture legacy that would encompass film, radio, television, comics and more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Tarzan of the Apes is both modern and readable.

Recenzii

There's something about the way Burroughs tells stories that makes them great fun despite all the many ways he transgresses modern sensibilities.
