Sinopsis
The Return Of Tarzan, by Edgar Rice Burroughs - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - The second novel in the Tarzan series opens with the aristocratic ape man aboard an ocean liner en route from New York to Europe, on which he has encounters with Russian spies, French counts, and beautiful women. He had decided not to claim his title and estates from his cousin. He is thrown overboard the cruise liner, ending up back in his native African jungle. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, remnant of the fabled Atlantis and he now sets off to search for it. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan leads a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar, reigned over by La, high priestess of the Flaming God. All the while not knowing that his almost-fi ancée Jane is suffering the harsh effects of stranded life in the merciless jungle only miles away. "Crowded with impossibilities as the tale is, Mr. Burroughs has told it so well, and has so succeeded in carrying his readers with him, that there are few who will not look forward eagerly to the promised sequel". --New York Times review, May 1915

Hardback. Condición: Good. As Tarzan walked down the wild canon beneath the brilliant African moon the call of the jungle was strong upon him. The solitude and the savage freedom filled his heart with life and buoyancy. Again he was Tarzan of the Apes--every sense alert against the chance of surprise by some jungle enemy--yet treading lightly and with head erect, in proud consciousness of his might. The nocturnal sounds of the mountains were new to him, yet they fell upon his ears like the soft voice of a half-forgotten love. Many he intuitively sensed--ah, there was one that was familiar indeed; the distant coughing of Sheeta, the leopard; but there was a strange note in the final wail which made him doubt. It was a panther he heard. He was being stalked. --from Chapter 10: Through the Valley of the Shadow Edgar Rice Burroughs created one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture, Tarzan of the Apes, and it is impossible to overstate his influence on entire genres of popular literature in the decades after his enormously winning pulp novels stormed the public's imagination. The Return of Tarzan, first published in 1913, is the second installment of Burroughs' tales of the ape-man, which would expand to encompass more than two dozen books. Here, Tarzan, having sacrificed his love for Jane Porter for the sake of her happiness, becomes embroiled in defending a French count and countess from villainous schemes, works as an agent for the French ministry of war, and returns to Africa to become chief of the Waziri tribe, among other grand adventures. American novelist EDGAR RICE BUROUGHS (1875-1950) wrote dozens of adventure, crime, and science-fiction novels that are still beloved today, including At the Earth's Core (1914), The Beasts of Tarzan (1916), A Princess of Mars (1917), The Land That Time Forgot (1924), and Pirates of Venus (1934). He is reputed to have been reading a comic book when he died. Nº de ref. del artículo: 00108062053
