Edgar Rice Burroughs
(01 September 1875 – 19 March 1950)
was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter,
although he produced works in many genres.. Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving Earthly
adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs' fictional name for Mars, and Amtor, his fictional
name for Venus), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns

Barsoom Series (John Carter of Mars)
Barsoom 1 - A Princess of Mars (Playing time 6hrs 46mins)
Part One of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Mars-Series. Easy, swank, pulp read about an omnipotent gentleman
teleported to Mars, finding an outlandish society of ape, tree and lizardmen, red, white, yellowmen, brains
on legs, strange bastions and curious apparatuses, where the strongest survives and women are needy beauties
to be saved. How can something be so platitudinous and at the same time so imaginative and enthralling?
Boys’ book for sure. (Summary by Stephan)
Barsoom 2 - The Gods of Mars (Playing time 8hrs 22mins)
The Gods of Mars is a 1918 Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the second of his famous Barsoom series.
It can be said that the novel set the tone for much science fiction to come. Its influence can clearly be seen
in franchises such as Star Trek and Farscape. While Burroughs no doubt borrowed liberally from the pulp fiction
of his day, particularly westerns and swashbuckling tales, the pacing and themes set the tone for the soft science
fiction genre. The protagonist, John Carter, with his proficiency in hand-to-hand combat and flirtations with
beautiful alien women, could be said to have set the mold for later influential icons like Captain James T.Kirk
and James Bond. At the end of the first book, A Princess of Mars, John Carter is unwillingly transported back to Earth.
The Gods of Mars begins with his arrival back on Barsoom (Mars) after a ten year hiatus, separated from his wife
Dejah Thoris, his unborn child, and the Red Martian people of the nation of Helium, whom he has adopted as his own.
Unfortunately, John Carter materializes in the one place on Barsoom from which nobody is allowed to depart:
the Valley Dor, which is the Barsoomian heaven. (Summary from wikipedia)
Barsoom 3 - The Warlord of Mars (Playing time 5hrs 47mins)
Warlord of Mars is an Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the third of his famous Barsoom series.
John Carter continues his quest to be reunited with his wife, the princess Dejah Thoris, and discovers
more fantastic creatures and ancient mysterious Martian races. (Summary from Wikipedia)
Barsoom 4 - Thuvia Maid of Mars (Playing time 4hrs 47mins)
the fourth of the Barsoom series. The principal characters are the Son of John Carter of Mars, Carthoris, and Thuvia
of Ptarth, both of which had appeared in the previous two novels.In this novel the focus shifts from John Carter,
Warlord of Mars, and Dejah Thoris of Helium, protagonists of the first three books in the series, to their son,
Carthoris, prince of Helium, and Thuvia, princess of Ptarth. Helium and Ptarth are both prominent Barsoomian
city state/empires, and both Carthoris and Thuvia were secondary characters in the previous novel.
Its plot devices were similar to the previous Martian novels, involving the kidnapping of a Martian princess,
this time John Carter's son Cathoris was implicated. It did however have some inventive and original ideas,
including an autopilot and collision detection device for Martian fliers, and the creation of the Lotharians,
a race of ancient martians who had become adept at telepathic projection, able to create imaginary warriors
that could kill, and sustain themselves through thought alone.[
Barsoom 5 - The Chessmen of Mars (Playing time 8hrs 41mins)
the fifth of his famous Barsoom series. In this novel Burroughs focuses on another a younger member of the family
established by John Carter and Dejah Thoris, protagonists of the first three books in the series. The Heroine this
time is their daughter Tara, Princess of Helium, whose hand is sought by the gallant Gahan, Jed (Prince) of Gathol.
Both Helium and Gathol are prominent Barsoomian city states.
Barsoom 6 - The Master Mind of Mars (Playing time 5hrs 56ins)
the sixth of his famous Barsoom series.In this novel Burroughs shifts the focus of the series for the second time, the first
having been from early protagonists John Carter and Dejah Thoris to their children after the third book. Now he moves to a
completely unrelated hero, Ulysses Paxton, an Earthman like Carter who like him is sent to Mars by astral projection.
Tarzan Series
Tarzan of the Apes (Playing time 8hrs 34mins)
Tarzan of the Apes is Burroughs’ exciting, if improbable, story of an English lord, left by the death of his
stranded parents in the hands of a motherly African ape who raises him as her own. Although he is aware that he is
different from the apes of his tribe, who are neither white nor hairless, he nevertheless regards them as his
"people". When older, larger, stronger apes decide that he an undesirable to be killed or expelled
from the tribe, it is fortunate that Tarzan has learned the use of primitive weapons. Although small and weak by
ape standards, Tarzan is a human of god-like strength and agility to men who discover him. By studying these people,
he gradually decides he is not an ape at all, but human. And when he meets Jane, a beautiful American girl marooned
with her father and friends on the hostile coast of Africa, Tarzan conceives love for her. When they are unexpectedly
rescued before Tarzan can find a way to reveal his feelings to Jane, he determines to become civilized and follow her
into the world of people – to find her and wed her, though he must cross continents and oceans, and compete with
two other suitors for her hand. This story was the subject of a successful film in 1932, with Tarzan being played by
Johnny Weissmuller, who acted in a further eleven Tarzan films. According to Weissmuller in an interview with
Mike Douglas, his famous ape-call was audio stitched together from a soprano, an alto, and a hog-caller!

The Return of Tarzan (Playing time 8hrs 01mins)
the second in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was first published in the pulp magazine
New Story Magazine in the issues for June through December 1913; the first book edition was published in 1915.
The novel picks up where Tarzan of the Apes left off. The ape man, feeling rootless in the wake of his noble
sacrifice of his prospects of wedding Jane Porter, leaves America for Europe to visit his friend Paul d'Arnot.
On the ship he becomes embroiled in the affairs of Countess Olga de Coude, her husband, Count Raoul de Coude,
and two shady characters attempting to prey on them, Nikolas Rokoff and his henchman Alexis Paulvitch. Rokoff,
it turns out, is also the countess's brother. Tarzan thwarts the villains' scheme, making them his deadly enemies.
Later, in France, Rockoff tries time and again to eliminate the ape man, finally engineering a duel between him and
the count by making it appear that he is the countess's lover. Tarzan deliberately refuses to defend himself in the
duel, even offering the count his own weapon after the latter fails to kill him with his own, a grand gesture that
convinces his antagonist of his innocence. In return, Count Raoul finds him a job as a special agent in Algeria for
the ministry of war. A sequence of adventures among the local Arabs ensues, including another brush with Rokoff.
Afterward Tarzan sails for Cape Town and strikes up a shipboard acquaintance with Hazel Strong, a friend of Jane's.
But Rokoff and Paulovitch are also aboard, and manage to ambush him and throw him overboard.Miraculously,
Tarzan manages to swim to shore, and finds himself in the coastal jungle where he was brought up by the apes.
He soon rescues and befriends a native warrior, Busuli of the Waziri, and is adopted into the Waziri tribe.
After defeating a raid on their village by ivory raiders he becomes their chief. The Waziri know of a lost city
deep in the jungle, from which they have obtained their golden ornaments. Tarzan has them take him there....
The Beasts of Tarzan (Playing time 8hrs 19mins)
This is the third of Burrough’s Tarzan novels. Originally serialized in All-Story Cavalier magazine in 1914,
the novel was first published in book form by A. C. McClurg in 1916. In the previous novel Tarzan reclaimed his name
and title as John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. In this novel he finds that proper society is just as vicious as the jungle
when greedy men threaten him and his new family. Jane and her infant son Jack are kidnapped by Tarzan’s enemies,
Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, who then trap Tarzan himself and attempt to exile him forever on a primitive island,
with Akut's band. With their aid he tracks down his wife and son. . .and his arch enemies Rokoff and Paulvitch.
(Summary by Wikipedia)
Son of Tarzan (Playing time 9hrs 41mins)
the fourth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. Alexis Paulvitch, a henchman of Tarzan's
now-deceased enemy, Nikolas Rokoff, survived his encounter with the ape-man in The Beasts of Tarzan and wants
to even the score. Paulvitch lures Jack, Tarzan's son, away from London and into his clutches, but Jack escapes
with the help of the ape named Akut. Akut & Jack flee into the deep African jungle where two decades earlier
Tarzan himself had been raised. The young Jack Clayton, now on his own, becomes known as Korak the killer and
builds a reputation for himself in the Jungle. Korak, like his father before him, finds his own place in the
Jungle among the great apes, and also like his father, meets and rescues a beautiful young woman, Meriem.
Meriem is the daughter of a Captain in the French Foreign Legion, who was also a Prince (Prince de Cadrenet),
named Armand Jacot. Arguably, the book is as much about Meriem, wife of Korak, as it is about Tarzan's son.
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar (Playing time 7hrs 11mins)
the fifth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. In the previous novel Tarzan and Jane's son,
Jack Clayton, a.k.a. Korak, had come into his own. In this novel Tarzan returns to Opar, the source of the gold
where a lost colony of fabled Atlantis is located. However, while Atlantis itself sank beneath the waves thousands
of years ago, the workers of Opar have continued to mine all of the gold, which means there is a rather huge stockpile.
Tarzan follows a greedy Belgian and an Arab into the jungle, where this criminal pair manages to stumble upon this
lost city. John Clayton loses his memory as an after effect of a fight, and La, the high priestess who was the servant
of the Flaming god of Opar, and who is also very beautiful, takes advantage of his amnesia. She had fallen in lust with
the ape man during their first encounter. But while his amnesia opens the door for La's lustful advances, her high priests
are not going to allow Tarzan to escape their sacrificial knives this time. In the meanwhile, Jane is in trouble and wonders
what is keeping her husband from once again coming to her rescue.

in British East Africa, it is destroyed by invading German troops from Tanganyika. On his return he discovers among
many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. Another fatality is the Waziri
warrior Wasimbu, left crucified by the Germans. Maddened, the ape-man seeks revenge not only on the perpetrators of the
tragedy but all Germans, and sets out for the battle front of the war in east Africa. On the way he has a run-in with a
lion (or Numa, as it is called by the apes among whom Tarzan was raised), which he traps in a gulch by blocking the
entrance. At the front he infiltrates the German headquarters and seizes Major Schneider, the officer he believes led
the raid on his estate. Returning to the gulch, he throws his captive to the lion. Tarzan goes on to help the British
in the battle in various ways, including setting the lion loose in the enemy trenches, and kills von Goss, another
German officer involved in the attack on the Greystoke estate.He then becomes embroiled in the affairs of Bertha Kircher,
a woman he has seen in both the German and British camps, and believes to be a German spy, particularly after he learns
she possesses his mother's locket, which he had given as a gift to Jane. His efforts to retrieve it lead him to a rendezvous
between Kircher and Captain Fritz Schneider, brother of the major Tarzan threw to the lion previously,
and the actual commander of the force that burned the estate.

but when he reaches a dead end, he successfully makes a stand, astonishing himself. While keeping the hairy brutes at bay, he meets
a beautiful girl, Nadara, also on the run. In an uncharacteristic gesture, he saves her from the grasp of one ape-man during their escape.
He is shocked that she believes him a hero, mistaking his frightened screams for war cries.
The Caspak Trilogy
The Land that Time Forgot (Playing time 3.8Hrs)
The Land That Time Forgot is a science fiction novel, the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Caspak”trilogy.
His working title for the story was “The Lost U-Boat.” Starting out as a harrowing wartime sea adventure,
the story ultimately develops into that of a fantastical lost world. , Burroughs’s story ultimately develops into
a lost world story reminiscent of such novels as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World (1912) and Jules Verne’s
The Mysterious Island (1874) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Burroughs adds his own twist by postulating a
unique biological system for his lost world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated
as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system is only hinted at in The Land That Time Forgot; presented as a mystery
whose explication is gradually worked out over the course of the next two novels, it forms a thematic element serving to
unite three otherwise rather loosely linked stories.(Adapted from Wikipedia.)
The People that Time Forgot (Playing time 3.8Hrs)
The People that Time Forgot is a science fiction novel, the second of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Caspak” trilogy.
The first novel ended with the hero writing a manuscript of his adventures and casting it out to sea in his thermos bottle.

his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry. In a test run, they discover the vehicle cannot be turned, and it burrows
500 miles into the earth's crust, emerging into the unknown interior world of Pellucidar. In Burroughs' concept, the
Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell.Pellucidar is inhabited by prehistoric
creatures of all geological eras, and dominated by the Mahars, a species of flying reptile both intelligent and civilized,
but which enslaves and preys on the local stone-age humans. Innes and Perry are captured by the Mahars' ape-like Sagoth
servants and taken with other human captives to the chief Mahar city of Phutra. Among their fellow captives are the brave
Ghak, the Hairy One, from the country of Sari, the shifty Hooja the Sly One and the lovely Dian the Beautiful of Amoz....

that the extrapolation of society, including the feudal and nomadic societies of the conquered earth, display new
facets of Burrough's skill as a writer.

named Armand Jacot. Arguably, the book is as much about Meriem, wife of Korak, as it is about Tarzan's son.
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar (Playing time 7hrs 11mins)
the fifth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. In the previous novel Tarzan and Jane's son,
Jack Clayton, a.k.a. Korak, had come into his own. In this novel Tarzan returns to Opar, the source of the gold
where a lost colony of fabled Atlantis is located. However, while Atlantis itself sank beneath the waves thousands
of years ago, the workers of Opar have continued to mine all of the gold, which means there is a rather huge stockpile.
Tarzan follows a greedy Belgian and an Arab into the jungle, where this criminal pair manages to stumble upon this
lost city. John Clayton loses his memory as an after effect of a fight, and La, the high priestess who was the servant
of the Flaming god of Opar, and who is also very beautiful, takes advantage of his amnesia. She had fallen in lust with
the ape man during their first encounter. But while his amnesia opens the door for La's lustful advances, her high priests
are not going to allow Tarzan to escape their sacrificial knives this time. In the meanwhile, Jane is in trouble and wonders
what is keeping her husband from once again coming to her rescue.

the seventh in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was originally published as two separate
stories serialized in different pulp magazines; "Tarzan the Untamed" and "Tarzan and the Valley of Luna"
The action is set during World War I. While John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (Tarzan) is away from his plantation home
in British East Africa, it is destroyed by invading German troops from Tanganyika. On his return he discovers among
many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. Another fatality is the Waziri
warrior Wasimbu, left crucified by the Germans. Maddened, the ape-man seeks revenge not only on the perpetrators of the
tragedy but all Germans, and sets out for the battle front of the war in east Africa. On the way he has a run-in with a
lion (or Numa, as it is called by the apes among whom Tarzan was raised), which he traps in a gulch by blocking the
entrance. At the front he infiltrates the German headquarters and seizes Major Schneider, the officer he believes led
the raid on his estate. Returning to the gulch, he throws his captive to the lion. Tarzan goes on to help the British
in the battle in various ways, including setting the lion loose in the enemy trenches, and kills von Goss, another
German officer involved in the attack on the Greystoke estate.He then becomes embroiled in the affairs of Bertha Kircher,
a woman he has seen in both the German and British camps, and believes to be a German spy, particularly after he learns
she possesses his mother's locket, which he had given as a gift to Jane. His efforts to retrieve it lead him to a rendezvous
between Kircher and Captain Fritz Schneider, brother of the major Tarzan threw to the lion previously,
and the actual commander of the force that burned the estate.

but when he reaches a dead end, he successfully makes a stand, astonishing himself. While keeping the hairy brutes at bay, he meets
a beautiful girl, Nadara, also on the run. In an uncharacteristic gesture, he saves her from the grasp of one ape-man during their escape.
He is shocked that she believes him a hero, mistaking his frightened screams for war cries.
The Caspak Trilogy
The Land that Time Forgot (Playing time 3.8Hrs)
The Land That Time Forgot is a science fiction novel, the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Caspak”trilogy.
His working title for the story was “The Lost U-Boat.” Starting out as a harrowing wartime sea adventure,
the story ultimately develops into that of a fantastical lost world. , Burroughs’s story ultimately develops into
a lost world story reminiscent of such novels as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World (1912) and Jules Verne’s
The Mysterious Island (1874) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Burroughs adds his own twist by postulating a
unique biological system for his lost world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated
as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system is only hinted at in The Land That Time Forgot; presented as a mystery
whose explication is gradually worked out over the course of the next two novels, it forms a thematic element serving to
unite three otherwise rather loosely linked stories.(Adapted from Wikipedia.)

his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry. In a test run, they discover the vehicle cannot be turned, and it burrows
500 miles into the earth's crust, emerging into the unknown interior world of Pellucidar. In Burroughs' concept, the
Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell.Pellucidar is inhabited by prehistoric
creatures of all geological eras, and dominated by the Mahars, a species of flying reptile both intelligent and civilized,
but which enslaves and preys on the local stone-age humans. Innes and Perry are captured by the Mahars' ape-like Sagoth
servants and taken with other human captives to the chief Mahar city of Phutra. Among their fellow captives are the brave
Ghak, the Hairy One, from the country of Sari, the shifty Hooja the Sly One and the lovely Dian the Beautiful of Amoz....

non-series 'scientific romances'. He describes the book as conveying a remarkable sense of wonder. He goes on to say
that the extrapolation of society, including the feudal and nomadic societies of the conquered earth, display new
facets of Burrough's skill as a writer.

appeared in the collection 'Beyond Thirty' and The Man-Eater, published in 1957.The work was retitled 'The Lost Continent' for
