Autor Edgar Rice Burroughs
en Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 31 mai 2012
He swings through the trees, kills beasts with his bare hands and dwells under the sky…just who is this wild man? Edgar Rice Burroughs’ impassioned tale of the noble savage begins with a boy, orphaned and alone in the wilds of Africa, who is taken into the care of the apes and raised as their own. Given the moniker ‘Tarzan’, he adapts to the freedom of jungle life, proving himself a fearsome hunter as he grows into manhood. Yet the undeniable truth that he is different turns rivalry into deadly confrontation. Rocked by the arrival of white humans in the form of a beautiful and spirited young woman and her companions, Tarzan is drawn to the strangers like him. As truths of his past are uncovered and new feelings are stirred, he finds himself drawn to two worlds and yet belonging fully in neither.

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...
