Beschreibung
For over a century, Tarzan has captivated readers with his extraordinary adventures, bridging the divide between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The Tarzan Collection brings together seventeen of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ most thrilling novels, following the legendary Lord of the Apes from his origins in the African jungle to his daring quests across lost civilizations, mysterious lands, and distant worlds. A master of action, adventure, and storytelling, Burroughs created one of the most enduring and iconic heroes in literary history, a figure whose legend continues to inspire generations. The saga begins with Tarzan of the Apes, where an orphaned child, raised by great apes, learns to survive in the jungle, only to discover his true heritage among men. His perilous journey continues in The Return of Tarzan and The Beasts of Tarzan, where betrayal, revenge, and the lure of the wild test his resolve. The Son of Tarzan expands the legend as his offspring is drawn into his father’s world, while Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar sends the hero back to a lost city brimming with danger and hidden treasure. Jungle Tales of Tarzan offers a glimpse into his formative years, revealing early encounters with friend and foe alike. As the adventure intensifies, Tarzan finds himself in the midst of war, myth, and conquest. Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible pit him against invading armies and prehistoric horrors. In Tarzan and the Golden Lion, he forms an unbreakable bond with a mighty beast, while Tarzan and the Ant Men plunges him into a miniature world of warring civilizations. The intrigue deepens in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle and Tarzan and the Lost Empire, where ancient kingdoms long hidden from history are brought to light. The adventure then takes a daring turn in Tarzan at the Earth’s Core, as he ventures into the subterranean world of Pellucidar. In the later novels, Tarzan’s battles extend beyond the jungle into realms of espionage, lost cities, and high-stakes survival. Tarzan Triumphant and Tarzan the Invincible see him facing ruthless enemies and conspiracies that threaten both the jungle and the wider world. Tarzan and the City of Gold and Tarzan and the Lion Man bring him face to face with powerful rulers, dangerous alliances, and the fine line between civilization and savagery. A definitive collection of heroic adventure, mystery, and survival, The Tarzan Collection showcases Edgar Rice Burroughs’ unparalleled ability to weave gripping tales of exploration and heroism. Whether battling predators, uncovering lost civilizations, or confronting the forces of man and nature, Tarzan remains one of literature’s greatest and most enduring heroes. Published by Classicus, this anthology is an essential volume for lovers of classic adventure fiction, taking readers on a breathtaking journey into a world where the wild still reigns, and a man raised by apes becomes a legend.
