Abstract:
The original Tarzan of Edgar Rice Burroughs is best experienced as a literary creation, a magical journey that lasts through 24 books and wanders not only into the jungle depths but down to through the Earth's crust into the savage prehistoric land of Pellucidar. Section One provides an overview of Tarzan the character; SectionTwo covers the mythical language used in the novels; Section Three enumerates the lost cities, civilizations, tribes, peoples and religions discovered by Tarzan; Section Four describes all the characters; and Section Five gives summaries of all 24 books that comprise the Burroughs canon with over thirty illustrations from various printings.
