    Extractions: September 1 ~  Only a Miracle Tarzan: Lost Adventure "The spirit of man can e n d u r e only so much and when it is broken o n l y a miracle can m e n d it." ~ Edgar Rice Burroughs Visionary science fiction novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was born on this day in Chicago, Illinois; his father was a Union Major in the Civil War. "There is a vast difference between seeing life and living life," he once said. From remote Mars to the deep North African jungle, ERB created over 90 tales of fantasy and imagination , celebrating the enduring spirit of mankind. "Psychologists tell me that... too close a scrutiny of my mental activities might prove anything but flattering," he wrote in Warlord of Mars (1913), one of the 11 John Carter of Mars books , a popular pulp fiction series. David Innes in the Inner World and Carson Napier on Venus were more of his creations. "I write to escape ... to escape poverty," he once joked and chose writing after drifting in and out of a kaleidoscope of menial jobs and failed business ventures. Burroughs penned one of fiction's most memorable characters, Tarzanthe son of Lord Greystoke who was abandoned in Africa and raised by apes. "I find I can write better about places I've never seen than those I have seen," Burroughs explained about his colorful

    Extractions: Chapter 10 Search all of The Land that Time Forgot Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was a prodigiously productive writer of pulp fictionsliterary entertainments, that is, published in inexpensive, easily obtained periodicals. His style was simple and instantly accessible, his stories riveting if often implausible tales of adventure, and of good overcoming evil. Burroughs wasn't much of an artist. But, as Mike Resnick writes in his introduction to this commemorative edition of Burroughs's immensely popular trilogy The Land That Time Forgot, first published in 1924, almost every book Burroughs wrote remains in print, and countless readers turn to his Mars and Tarzan novels every day. In Land, Burroughs concocts a fabulous microworld, located somewhere in the South Pacific, called Caspak. On this mountainous island live winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles; they terrorize each other, to say nothing of the mixed crew of World War I-era adventurers who inadvertently land on a Caspakian beach and fight their way across the island, dining on Plesiosaurus steaks and having a grand old time in the company of a jungle princess. The story streaks onward like a bullet toward its surprise ending, and it's pure fun all the way.

    Extractions: User Comments and Reviews: D. Walter A Princess of Mars December 20th, 2002 Rating: Not Rated Many years ago when I was just starting to find an interest in book reading my parents introduced me to Edgar Rice Buroughs and his Martian series. I had heard of his Tarzan books and was midly interested in those, but there was something in his Martian series that opened a love of reading that hasn't stopped since. The stories were like non-stop action, adventure, suspense, fantasy mixed with a good portion of romantic overtones. The journey of a human, John Carter, through such a way of life, strange beings on a totally alien landscape enthralled me to no end. I needed to locate every book to read. It may be considered by some as simple "brain candy" but to me at that time it was a door unto imagination that I could not have conceived up until than.

    Extractions: NOW IN PRODUCTION: Edgar Rice Burroughs first gained recognition when in 1912 All-Story magazine serialized the story "Under the Moons of Mars, using the pseudonym Norman Bean. (When this story appeared in book form it received its final title, A Princess of Mars, with the publisher abandoning the pseudonym and utilizing the author's real name). By the time the last installment of "Under the Moons of Mars" appeared, Burroughs had completed what was to become his most popular work with the creation of one of the best-known literary characters in the entire world: Tarzan of the Apes. There were 25 “Tarzan” and numerous “Mars” sequels, including THE GODS OF MARS, 1918, THE WARLORD OF MARS, 1919, THUVIA, MAID OF MARS, 1920, and THE CHESSMEN OF MARS, 1922 but to the delight of innumerable readers he had many more and varied tales to weave, exhilarating adventures set on other planets and in lost lands and civilizations. Burroughs’ fertile imagination wrought fabulous prehistoric worlds (At the Earth's Core, The Eternal Savage and The Land That Time Forgot) as well as tales of horror (The Monster Men).

    Extractions: In this cynical age, it's wonderfully refreshing to get to cheer for characters of uncompromising nobility and bravery like Tarzan and Jane Porter. I find it very easy to get caught up in their stories despite their comic book attributes and even though they are virtuous to an absurd extreme (as exemplified by Jane's willingness to marry a man she doesn't love rather than hurt his feelings by telling him she really loves Tarzan).

    Extractions: his ranch home [This biographical profile is based largely on the book Tarzan Forever: The Life of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Creator of Tarzan by John Taliaferro, 1999, Scribners.] With his fondness for fantasy, his high regard for real estate, and his confidence that the movies would make him wealthy, Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was the perfect immigrant to early 20 th century Los Angeles. First and foremost, Edgar Rice Burroughs was the creator of Tarzan. He also created other pulp fiction heroes, but none with the staying power of his jungle superman. In his time, which covered the second, third and fourth decades of the last century, only Western writer Zane Grey came close to equaling Burroughs in popularity. Millions read his stories in magazines. Additional millions bought his books, 74 in all. Tarzan’s adventures could be tracked in Sunday comic strips, radio serials, and, of course, the movies. And then there was Edgar Rice Burroughs the real estate developer – most notably, the founder of Tarzana, the San Fernando Valley community created when Burroughs sub-divided part of his 550-acre ranch bearing the same name.

    Extractions: (from Tarzan of the Apes, 1914 ) American novelist, creator of the world famous character of Tarzan. Although critics have considered Burroughs's fiction crudely written, his books are still widely read and usually superior to the films. They also contain several elements that have kept them 'politically correct': Waziri warriors from Tarzan novels are portrayed as members of an admirable tribe, and his cave girls Nadara and Dejah Thoris, the princess of Mars, are courageous and resourceful characters. Burroughs was born in Chicago, Illinois, into a prosperous family. He attended several private schools, including the Michigan Military Academy, Orchar Lake (1892-95), where he was instructor and assistant commandant (1895-96). He served in the 7th Cavalry (1896-97) and the Illinois Reserve Militia (1918-19). After his military career Burroughs was owner of a stationery store in Pocatello, Idaho (1898), and associated with the American Battery Company, Chicago (1899-03). In 1900 he married Emma Centennia Hulbert (divorced in 1934); they had two sons and one daughter.

    Extractions: 28. WHAT THE CAVE REVEALED NU, THE son of Nu, his mighty muscles rolling beneath his smooth bronzed skin, moved silently through the jungle primeval. His handsome head with its shock of black hair, roughly cropped between sharpened stones, was high held, the delicate nostrils questioning each vagrant breeze for word of Oo, hunter of men. Now his trained senses catch the familiar odor of Ta, the great woolly rhinoceros, directly in his path, but Nu, the son of Nu, does not hunt Ta this day. Does not the hide of Ta's brother already hang before the entrance of Nu's cave? No, today Nu hunts the gigantic cat, the fierce saber-toothed tiger, Oo, for Nat-ul, wondrous daughter of old Tha, will mate with none but the mightiest of hunters. Only so recently as the last darkness, as, beneath the great, equatorial moon, the two had walked hand in hand beside the restless sea she had made it quite plain to Nu, the son of Nu, that not even he, son of the chief of chiefs, could claim her unless there hung at the thong of his loin cloth the fangs of Oo. "Nat-ul," she had said to him, "wishes her man to be greater than other men. She loves Nu now better than her very life, but if Love is to walk at her side during a long life Pride and Respect must walk with it." Her slender hand reached up to stroke the young giant's black hair. "I am very proud of my Nu even now," she continued, "for among all the young men of the tribe there is no greater hunter, or no mightier fighter than Nu, the son of Nu. Should you, single-handed, slay Oo before a grown man's beard has darkened your cheek there will be none greater in all the world than Nat-ul's mate, Nu, the son of Nu."

    Extractions: Chapter: Soon all were out of sight beyond a promontory except a single craft which fished before the village. These men evidently sought less formidable game, and Nu could see that from the teeming sea they were dragging in great fish almost as rapidly as they could hurl their weapons. Soon the boat was completely filled, and with their great load the men paddled slowly inshore. As they came a sudden resolution formed in Nu's mind. The sight of the dangerous sport upon the waters had filled him with a strong desire to emulate these strangers, but greater than that was the power of another suggestion which the idea held forth. As the men dragged the boat upon the beach the women came down to meet them, carrying great bags of bull hide sewn with bullock sinew. Into these they gathered the fish and dragged their loads over the ground toward their camp. The men, their day's work evidently finished, stretched out beneath the shade of trees to sleep. This was the time! Nu moved stealthily to his hands and knees. He grasped his long spear and his stone ax tightly in his hands. The boat lay upon the open beach. There was no near point where he might reach it undetected by the women. The alternative rather appealed to Nu's warlike nature. It was nothing less than rushing directly through the village. He came to his feet and advanced lightly among the shelters. No need to give the alarm before he was detected. He was directly behind the young woman who scraped the aurochs' skin. She did not hear his light footfall. The baby, now sitting by her side playing with the aurochs' tail, looked up to see the stranger close upon him. He lunged toward his mother with a lusty shriek. Instantly the camp was in commotion. No need now for stealth. With a war whoop that might have sprung from a score of lusty lungs Nu leaped through the village among the frightened women and the startled men, awakened rudely from their sleep.

    Extractions: I was born in Chicago. After epidemics had closed two schools that I attended, my parents shipped me to a cattle ranch in Idaho where I rode for my brothers who were only recently out of college and had entered the cattle business as the best way of utilizing their Yale degrees. Later, I was dropped from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts; flunked examinations for West Point; and was discharged from the regular army on account of a weak heart. Next, my brother Henry backed me in setting up a stationery store in Pocatello, Idaho. That didn't last long either. In 1903 my oldest brother, George, gave me a position on a gold dredge he was operating in the Stanley Basin country in Idaho. Our next stop was in Oregon, where my brother Henry was managing a gold dredge on the Snake River. We arrived on a freight wagon, with a collie dog and $40. Forty dollars did not seem like much to get anywhere with, so I decided to enter a poker game at a local saloon and run my capital up to several hundred dollars during the night. When I returned at midnight to the room we had rented, we still had the collie dog. Otherwise, we were not broke. I worked in Oregon until the company failed, and then my brother got me a job as a railroad policeman in Salt Lake City. We were certainly poverty-stricken there, but pride kept us from asking for help. Neither of us knew much about anything that was practical, but we had to do everything ourselves, including the family wash. Not wishing to see Mrs. Burroughs do work of that sort, I volunteered to do it myself. During those months, I half soled my own shoes and did numerous odd jobs.

    Extractions: There are certain books and authors that have an inordinate impact on our lives. Often as not, their particular significance to us as individuals extends far beyond that which they would have to anyone else and sometimes, if we return to them at a different point in our own lives, it can be hard to recapture why they should have seemed so momentous in the first place. One of the authors who really turned me into a reader was Edgar Rice Burroughs and I am ecstatic to find that his books are just as terrific in real life as they are in boyhood memories. I still vividly recall the cover of Tarzan and the Ant Men review of Around the World in Eighty Days ) and the adventures of Doc Savage, The Avenger, The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, etc., not to mention Tolkein and C.S. Lewis (see review of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe So imagine my pleasure when I found this old Ballantine Books paperback of Tarzan of the Apes , with a cover by Neal Adams showing an enraged Tarzan racing towards a screeching great ape who is grasping a seductively disheveled Jane by her flowing blonde locks. It's amazing, you haven't read a word yet and already your pulse is racing. Then open the book and, wonder of wonders, it's every bit as thrilling and wonderful as I remembered it. Shipwrecks, mutinies, buried treasure, lion attacks, hostile tribesmen, and most of all the ape pack and the herculean efforts of one lost little boy to survive in the forbidding wilds of Africawhat more could a reader want in a book?
