Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is the fifth adventure in the saga of
the jungle lord and features both one of the series most celebrated
locations, the lost city of Opar, as well as one of its most
celebrated characters, the ruthless, obsessed and fatally beautiful
La of Opar. Seeking to make off with some of the lost city of
Opar's treasures, Tarzan survives an earthquake only to take a blow
to the head and be stricken with partial amnesia, leaving him more
wild beast than man. Tarzan can't know that the man he rescues from
Opar's Neanderthal inhabitants is actually a deadly foe, or that
his wife, Jane, is in mortal danger. Full of entwined plotlines,
desperate danger and classic set pieces, Tarzan and the Jewels of
Opar features one of the finest lost cities in fiction, a forgotten
colony of Atlantis in ruins but still populated by semi-human
primitives, full of fabulous treasure, and presided over by La,
Opar's gorgeous and merciless queen. Fashioned in the mold of H.
Rider Haggard's She, La is an unforgettable creation. Her fierce
presence and the scenes of Tarzan's stunning reversion to bestial
savagery help make this volume a favorite of many Burroughs
aficionados. First appearing in book form in 1918, Tarzan and the
Jewels of Opar is part of a rich legacy that includes a series of
24 books and adaptations in film, radio, television, comics and
more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is both
modern and readable.
