Tarzan the Magnificent.
"Truth is stranger than fiction": Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan the Magnificent
Tarzan the Magnificent.
BURROUGHS, Edgar Rice.
Item Number: 136081
Tarzana: Edgar Rice Burroughs, 1939.
Early printing of the twenty-first book in Burroughs’ popular Tarzan series. Octavo, original gray cloth, top edge blue, illustrated by John Coleman Burroughs. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A very bright example.
The noble savage Tarzan first appeared in Burroughs' 1912 story Tarzan of the Apes, published in pulp magazine The All-Story and in book form two years later. An archetypal feral child raised in the African jungle by Mangani great apes, Tarzan spawned innumerable works in literature and film, including 25 sequels and the popular Tarzan movie franchise which lasted from the 1930s to the 1960s. In Tarzan the Magnificent, Tarzan encounters a lost race with uncanny mental powers, after which he revisits the lost cities of Cathne and Athne, previously encountered in the earlier novel Tarzan and the City of Gold.
