The Tarzan Collection

Edgar Rice Burroughs

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.

Stealing Manhattan - The Untold...

Burl Barer, Punch Stanimirovic

The true crime story of a family of altruistic jewel thieves and four decades of daring capers and sweet escapes, including a 1992 New York mega-heist.

Punch Stanimirovic insists: “My father, known as Mr. Stan, is the greatest gentleman thief who ever lived—a true genius.”

Punch was raised to be an exceptional diamond thief. He could work magic on a safe that would have sent Mandrake the Magician back to the novelty store, and Dr. Strange back to medical school. He and his family risked it all to make the patriarch, Mr. Stan, proud.

Punch’s pop culture sensibilities, his father’s proven skills, and his mother’s artistic input merged to create cinema-style capers—elaborately planned and executed, including a spectacular 1992 New York mega-heist of over one billion dollars in diamonds, gold, and precious gems—and they got away with it.

Many of the crew members went on to invest in real estate, helping to “build the New York skyline”, while others moved to Europe and became the Pink Panthers.

They had one rule: No One Gets Hurt. From daring heists to the ultimate escape, discover the true story of Punch, his extraordinary crew, and his high-society family . . .

Edgar Award winner and New York Times–bestselling author Burl Barer brings to light the remarkable story of four decades and two generations of America’s First Family of kind and generous “altruistic outlaws” in Stealing Manhattan: The Untold Story of America’s Billion Dollar Gem Heist Masterminds.

Praise for Stealing Manhattan

“Barer has that all-important knack for seeking and finding hidden truth. In Stealing Manhattan, those who pulled off this caper were professionals who knew how to keep their mouths shut. And lucky for us, some of these mouths have recently opened to Barer . . . now the world can know the truth. You will not want to miss this “gem” of a book!” —Kevin Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: The Yearly Journal

Hitler's Girl - The British...

Lauren Young

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism. 
Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded. 
As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler. 
Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?

On Streisand - An Opionated Guide

Ethan Mordden

She said, "I became a singer because I couldn't get work as an actress," but Barbra Streisand not only became both but revolutionized the two professions. Her music transformed the smooth, uninflected style of the Frank Sinatras and Ella Fitzgeralds into an engine of dramatic vocalism in which each song is like a miniature three-act play. And Streisand's films changed forever the ideal of how a movie star chooses roles, going from musicals to dramas to comedies, from period fare to ultra-modern tales, from Funny Girl to The Way We Were to Yentl. 
 
A book written by an opinionated expert whose prose is consistently full of flair and wit, On Streisand: An Opinionated Guide will appeal to general readers in all aspects of American life that Streisand has touched, from film to television to popular music to stardom.
