Tarzan Lord Of The Jungle

Edgar Rice Burroughs

Lord Tarzan makes it his job to know who comes and goes in his jungle; James Blake and Wilbur Stimbol's safari and Ibn Jad's troupe are no exception. Blake and Stimbol, on safari for photographs, are on the verge of parting ways after vehement disagreement, while Ibn Jad's people are searching for the fabled city of Nimmir, yearning for its riches. Allowing passage to some and not to others, Tarzan gains new enemies and new friends as the different parties seek their treasures among the wilds of his jungle—a beautiful jungle, but one fraught with danger from men, beasts, and the elements. Tensions, greed, and passions run high as those welcome and unwelcome trod upon Tarzan's land, desperate to survive and find the treasures they seek. Is there such a city filled with gold, jewels, and the most beautiful woman on earth, or have these explorers just walked into a death trap with the lord of the jungle as the mastermind? This book marks a significant transition from previous novels in the series. Whereas earlier books interwove personal affairs and continuity, from this book on, Tarzan is presented as an adventurer with no significant ties. Although previous characters still put in minor appearances, the books shift from Tarzan's active role in his family to him supporting a secondary cast of characters, and from his own personal affairs to contending with new tribes and civilizations. Edgar Rice Burroughs (died 1950) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. Adventure literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries captured the imagination of a reading public hungry for tales of exploration, danger, and heroism. Tarzan Lord Of The Jungle belongs to this tradition of gripping narratives that transported readers beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives.
