Beschreibung

In "Jungle Tales of Tarzan," Edgar Rice Burroughs masterfully compiles a series of interconnected short stories that delve into the life of Tarzan, the legendary figure raised by apes in the African jungle. Written in a vivid and engaging prose style, this collection explores themes of civilization versus savagery, identity, and the complexities of human nature as Tarzan navigates his existence between two worlds. Each tale is imbued with lush, descriptive language, illustrating the rich and tumultuous landscape of the jungle, while also reflecting the early 20th-century fascination with adventure and the wilderness. Edgar Rice Burroughs, born in 1875, was a prolific American author whose diverse career spanned pulp fiction, adventure novels, and space operas. His experiences as an explorer and his exposure to the burgeoning genres of fantasy and science fiction undoubtedly inspired him to create the Tarzan character, who has since become an enduring icon of literature. Burroughs' own fascination with the natural world and his critiques of societal norms inform the narratives within this collection, making it a vital part of his broader oeuvre. "Jungle Tales of Tarzan" is highly recommended for readers seeking an enthralling adventure that transcends the boundaries of human experience. With its captivating storytelling and profound thematic explorations, this collection invites both new and returning readers to immerse themselves in Tarzan'Äôs world, compelling us to question our own identities and place within the natural order.

    They long to build a future. But first, they must overcome their shattered past. 
    Eden Houston wants nothing more than to repair her broken relationship with her husband, Adam. But the death of their infant son has left them distant, walking together in body but worlds apart in spirit. As they follow the Oregon Trail with hope of starting fresh, even the vast plains feel too small to contain their grief and brokenness. 
    But when they come upon the ruins of a massacred wagon train and find three young children still alive in the wreckage, she finds a spark of purpose in a wilderness of sorrow. 
    Adam fears that taking in the orphans will reopen the grief that Eden has only just begun to conquer. Leaving the children at the next fort will break her heart all over again—and he’s not sure he can bear that agony a second time, either. 
    However, that concern will have to wait because the man responsible for the massacre has realized the children survived. And he will do whatever it takes to silence them—and anyone who stands in his way. Including Eden. 
    In the face of fear and desperation, Adam and Eden must hold tight to love, to hope . . . and to the God who knows how to carry those He loves across barren plains.
