THIS IS A SCARCE VINTAGE HEIRLOOM EASTON WITH LAVISH DEEP GILT IMPRESSIONS TO THE BOARDS AND SPINE. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY-PRIZED and MOST BEAUTIFUL EDITIONS OF THIS GREAT SCIENCE FICTION CLASSIC YOU CAN FIND. 🍍 NOT INCLUDED… 😃. ABOUT THE BOOK: Having failed in a number of occupations as a young man, Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) found his niche as a writer with Tarzan of the Apes, first published in 1914. Highly imaginative, exotic and suspenseful, the story tells of an infant — the son of an aristocratic English couple — abandoned when his parents die in the jungles of Africa. Rescued and reared by apes, he learns to speak their language and imitate their ability to travel swiftly through the treetops. Eventually, his courage, immense strength and exceptional intelligence earn him the respect and admiration not only of the apes, but of all the creatures of the jungle. The ape-man's story is told here in this classic, fast-paced novel, packed with riveting adventures as Tarzan avenges the killing of Kala, his ape-mother, subdues man-eating beasts of the jungle, meets and falls in love with the beautiful Jane Porter, vanquishes greedy pirate-adventurers, and deals with assorted other threats. Although Burroughs followed this story with many Tarzan sequels, it is doubtful if any ever equaled this novel for its originality, readability and sheer storytelling power. In this inexpensive edition, complete and unabridged, it will thrill a new generation with the legendary exploits of the "Lord of the Apes." In Return of Tarzan, disconsolate over the loss of Jane Porter's hand to his cousin William Cecil Clayton, Tarzan renounces his title of Lord Greystoke and returns to Paris to visit his friend Paul d'Arnot. Realizing the ape-man is not suited to the vicissitudes of civilization, d'Arnot helps his grieving comrade acquire a post in the French Secret Service that better fits Tarzan's adventurous nature. After disrupting a Russian espionage operation, the ape-man is tossed overboard during his ocean passage to South Africa and resumes his primitive life on the West Coast. He befriends the Waziri tribe and leads them on a trek to explore the lost city of Opar, a forgotten land populated by a bestial race, ruled by the mercurial high priestess La. There, Tarzan's path will cross once again with that of Jane Porter, but can the two realize their love is destined before they meet death on the altar of the Flaming God?In Beasts of Tarzan, Tarzan is exiled by Russian villain Nikolas Rokoff to a wild African island. He enlists the help of a panther and tribe of Great Apes to reach the mainland. He believes Rokoff has kidnapped his wife and infant son.CONDITION: Book is in PRISTINE condition for its age — STILL IN PUBLISHER’S ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP.
