Edgar Rice Burroughs

Джон Картър рискува всичко, за да спаси жена си, принцеса Дея Торис, от лапите на злите си противници, но винаги е на крачка назад Битките му покриват лицето на червената планета, тъй като търсенето му го отвежда в крайна сметка до мистериозния северен полюс. Дали тази цивилизация, потопена в лед, ще се окаже фатална за нашия герой?

Jungle Tales of Tarzan, the sixth book in the saga of the jungle lord, is a series of shorter adventures, all featuring young Tarzan when he knew no home but the wilderness and his best friends were creatures of the wild. This collection of interconnected short stories takes Tarzan back to his early years and tells of the exciting and formative events of his youth. These twelve tales show the ape-man before he learned of civilization or truly understood his human heritage. Tarzan finds an unlikely first love and first heartbreak, befriends an elephant, and tries to adopt a child with predictably mixed results. Gentle humor tempers tales of ferocious and violent action as Tarzan battles a cruel witch doctor and disguises himself in a lion skin with results both humorous and horrifying. There is a reflective tone some might not expect of the author, as young Tarzan learns the difference between reality and dream, and strives to understand, with none to explain or guide him, what is meant by ‘God’. Many Tarzan fans find particular enjoyment in reading about the jungle lord’s adventures in his wilderness element and this collection delivers all the thrills, mystery and adventure they could wish. First appearing in book form in 1919, Jungle Tales of Tarzan is part of a rich legacy that includes a series of 24 books and adaptations in film, radio, television, comics and more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jungle Tales of Tarzan is both modern and readable.

The Beasts of Tarzan is the third adventure of the jungle lord and displays the author’s mythic hero at his most loyal, as he struggles through terrible trials to reunite his family, and his most savage, as he confronts the men who dared tear his family apart. Edgar Rice Burroughs returns to the chronicles of one of the world’s most celebrated fictional characters, Tarzan of the Apes. Old enemies resurface to torment Tarzan while he’s in England, living as the civilized Lord Greystoke. The kidnapping of his infant son leads to the capture of both parents, and to Tarzan being stranded, unarmed and naked, on the shore of a jungle island. Maddened by a note left by the kidnappers, hinting at a terrible fate for mother and child, and pitted against a savage collection of jungle beasts, Lord Greystoke reverts to his primal self, a savage animal of superhuman ferocity, and the worst opponent a villain could have. Befriending a savage panther and leading a small army of great apes, Tarzan will fight to restore his family and make his enemies pay a heavy price. The author’s vivid imagination and clear prose grants his incredible tale a beguiling verisimilitude, putting the reader into the wild action with the persuasive power of a 20th century myth. Tarzan remains an unforgettable character and a pop culture phenomenon. Originally published in book form in 1914, The Beasts of Tarzan is part of a rich legacy that includes a series of 24 books and adaptations in film, radio, television, comics and more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Beasts of Tarzan is both modern and readable.

Im zweiundzwanzigsten Jahrhundert kommt Admiral Julian der Dritte nicht zur Ruhe, denn er kennt seine Zukunft. Er wird im darauffolgenden Jahrhundert als sein Enkel Julian der F nfte wiedergeboren. Dort ist Julian der Kommandant eines Raumschiffs, das zum Mars aufbricht. Aufgrund eines technischen Defekts muss sein Raumschiff jedoch zu einer Landung auf dem Mond ansetzen. Leider verirrt sich es sich und die Erdenmenschen landen nicht auf dessen Oberfl che, sondern geraten durch einen erloschenen Vulkan in sein Inneres. Dort entdecken sie seltsame Kreaturen, eine au erirdische Zivilisation und nat rlich die junge Mondfrau. Eine epische Handlung nimmt ihren Anfang. Anm. des Herausgebers: Um st rende berschneidungen mit Ereignissen der heutigen Zeit zu vermeiden, ist die Handlung gegen ber der urspr nglichen amerikanischen Ausgabe mit dem Titel "The Moon Maid" um weitere 150 Jahre in die Zukunft verlegt worden. F r die bersetzung von "Moon Maid" ins Deutsche ist "Junge Mondfrau" gew hlt worden und nicht "Mond-M dchen", da in der heutigen Zeit - und bestimmt auch in der Zukunft - eine 18-j hrige junge Frau nicht mehr als "M dchen" angesehen wird, sondern tats chlich als eine junge Frau.

Bowen J. Tylerin isän henkilökohtainen sihteeri Thomas Billings kokosi etsintäpartion selvittämään outoon maailmaan kadonneen poikansa kohtaloa. Partio pääseekin ajan unohtamalle mantereelle, mutta retkikunnan johtajan Billingsin ajattelemattomuus johdattaa hänet eroon muusta joukosta. Kummallisen Caspakin päivät ja yöt olivat vaarallisia lukemattomine petoineen ja liskoineen. Tarzanista ja Mars-kirjoista tuttu Edgar Rice Burroughs loi oudon esihistoriallisen Caspakin maailman, jonne hän sijoitti kolme teostaan. Ajan unohtamat ihmiset (1918) on näistä toinen. Uusi suomennos on Reijo Vallan tekemä.

"Tämä on viimeinen merkintä käsikirjoitukseeni. Kun tämä on kirjoitettu, olen lopussa. Vaikka saatan rukoilla, että se saavuttaa sivistyneen ihmisen tietoisuuden, niin ymmärrän hyvin, jos tämä jää ainoastaan minun silmieni luettavaksi, ja jos se saavuttaakin jonkun toisen, niin luultavasti se tapahtuu kannaltani aivan liian myöhään. Olen yksin suuren kallionkielekkeen huipulla ja katselen laajaa Tyyntä valtamerta. Vilpoinen tuuli etelästä puree luita myöten, vaikka samaan aikaan näen trooppisen Caspakin kaukana takanani ja edessäni valtavia jäävuoria Etelänapamantereelta." Tarzanista ja Mars-kirjoista parhaiten tunnettu Edgar Rice Burroughs loi myös oudon esihistoriallisen Caspakin maailman, jonne hän sijoitti kolme teostaan. Ajan unohtama manner (1918) on näistä ensimmäinen. Uusi suomennos on Reijo Vallan käsialaa, aiempi ilmestyi vuonna 1925.

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is the fifth adventure in the saga of the jungle lord and features both one of the series most celebrated locations, the lost city of Opar, as well as one of its most celebrated characters, the ruthless, obsessed and fatally beautiful La of Opar. Seeking to make off with some of the lost city of Opar’s treasures, Tarzan survives an earthquake only to take a blow to the head and be stricken with partial amnesia, leaving him more wild beast than man. Tarzan can’t know that the man he rescues from Opar’s Neanderthal inhabitants is actually a deadly foe, or that his wife, Jane, is in mortal danger. Full of entwined plotlines, desperate danger and classic set pieces, Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar features one of the finest lost cities in fiction, a forgotten colony of Atlantis in ruins but still populated by semi-human primitives, full of fabulous treasure, and presided over by La, Opar’s gorgeous and merciless queen. Fashioned in the mold of H. Rider Haggard’s She, La is an unforgettable creation. Her fierce presence and the scenes of Tarzan’s stunning reversion to bestial savagery help make this volume a favorite of many Burroughs aficionados. First appearing in book form in 1918, Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is part of a rich legacy that includes a series of 24 books and adaptations in film, radio, television, comics and more.

Edgar Rice Burroughs believes in heredity. He has to; for what more striking proof of heredity could be adduced than the case of Jack Clayton? Who is Jack Clayton, say you? Why, the son of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke; otherwise Tarzan of the Apes. Yes; now you know. In spite of all the efforts of Lady Greystoke, ably seconded by Tarzan himself, to keep all knowledge of the wild from the youthful mind of their only son-going even so far as to prohibit his visiting the London Zoo-nothing could keep down the wild strain. And when Akut, the old gray ape, friend of Tarzan that was, came to London in the custody of all that was left of Alexis Paulvitch-

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.
