When John Carter discovers that his beloved wife, Dejah, has been
imprisoned in the Temple of the Sun, he is desperate to rescue her.
However, the prison, which slowly rotates, is only opened once a
Barsoomian year. As Dejah’s prison sentence drags on for over a
hundred days, the window of opportunity is narrowing for Carter to
save her. Amid social and political unrest from the last war, the
Thern had appointed a new leader, but many still believed in their
ideologies. When Carter discovers that the new Thern leader, Matai
Shang, and another new leader, Thurid, know the secret of the
Temple of the Sun and intend to plan a prison break, he follows
them, in hopes he could benefit from their plan. After Thurid and
Matai Shang break out the prisoners that they planned to rescue:
Phaidor, the daughter of the Holy Thern, and Thuvia, a Barsoomian
princess, the two decide to take Dejah as well, not to save her but
out of spite and contempt for Carter. As Carter chases after them
in hopes of freeing his wife, he risks it all to save her and
restore peace, encountering ambushes, new discoveries, and dramatic
trials. The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a

The Son of Tarzan is the fourth adventure in the saga of the jungle
lord and the only volume to focus on his son, Jack. Raised in
ignorance of his father's untamed nature, Jack will learn the truth
of his heritage, the exhilaration of its primal power and the
mortal danger of its primitive conflicts and ruthless foes. Edgar
Rice Burroughs turns his attention to Tarzan's son, first seen as
an infant in The Beasts of Tarzan. Fearing unjustified accusations
of murder, Jack flees deep into the African jungle, to the very
place his father, Tarzan, came of age. Like his mighty sire, Jack
adapts to his new life in the wild, finding friends in the great
apes and winning the name Korak, the killer. In rescuing Meriem, an
abducted and maltreated young girl, Jack acquires a friend and
companion in his life of exile. Their relationship is that of
siblings but, as time passes and circumstances tear them apart,
stronger emotions are revealed. The author's mastery of devious
plotting, replete with cruel twists of fate that maximize the
protagonist's danger and fear for their loved one, keeps the novel
moving at a brisk pace and qualify it as one of the most rousing
entries in the Tarzan saga. Originally published in book form in

Jungle Tales of Tarzan, the sixth book in the saga of the jungle
lord, is a series of shorter adventures, all featuring young Tarzan
when he knew no home but the wilderness and his best friends were
creatures of the wild. This collection of interconnected short
stories takes Tarzan back to his early years and tells of the
exciting and formative events of his youth. These twelve tales show
the ape-man before he learned of civilization or truly understood
his human heritage. Tarzan finds an unlikely first love and first
heartbreak, befriends an elephant, and tries to adopt a child with
predictably mixed results. Gentle humor tempers tales of ferocious
and violent action as Tarzan battles a cruel witch doctor and
disguises himself in a lion skin with results both humorous and
horrifying. There is a reflective tone some might not expect of the
author, as young Tarzan learns the difference between reality and
dream, and strives to understand, with none to explain or guide
him, what is meant by 'God'. Many Tarzan fans find particular
enjoyment in reading about the jungle lord's adventures in his
wilderness element and this collection delivers all the thrills,
mystery and adventure they could wish. First appearing in book form
in 1919, Jungle Tales of Tarzan is part of a rich legacy that

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

When they were fourteen years old, Dick and Doc were attending an
excellent English school, where there were a great many future
dukes and earls and arch-bishops and lord mayors, who, when they
saw how much Dick and Doc resembled one another, called them The
Twins. Later, when they learned that Dick's father was distantly
related to Lord Greystoke, who is famous all over the world as
Tarzan of the Apes, the boys commenced to call Dick and Doc The
Tarzan Twins - so that is how the nickname grew and became attached
to them. As everyone knows tar means white in the language of the
great apes, and go means black, so Doc, with his light hair, was
known as Tarzan-tar and Dick, whose hair was black, was called
Tarzan-go. It was all right to be called Tarzan-tar and Tarzan-go,
until the other boys began to make fun of them because they could
climb trees no better than many another boy and, while they were
fair in athletic sports, they did not excel. It was right there and
then that Dick and Doc decided that they would live up to their new
names, for they did not enjoy being laughed at and made fun of, any
more than any other normal, red-blooded boy does.

Tarzan of the Apes is the first story and origin of one of modern
fiction's most enduring and mythic heroes. Raised in the savage
jungle, young Lord Greystoke must reckon with brutal beasts and
still crueler civilized enemies to understand and claim his human
heritage. Viscount and Lady Greystoke survive a shipwreck on the
jungle coast of Africa where their son is born. The couple perishes
but the boy is taken in by a mother ape who recently lost her own
child. Raised among apes and utterly unfamiliar with his humanity,
young Tarzan discovers the cabin his father built and learns
something of who he is and why he is so different from his ape
companions. Pitted against a steady stream of daunting challenges,
Tarzan will rise to rule his tribe of apes and encounter fellow
humans at last, when another shipwreck maroons lovely Jane Porter
and her comrades on his shore. By couching his extravagant
imagination in clear, direct prose the author balances his novel on
a razor edge between realistic drama and pure fairy tale. Tarzan
remains a unique and indelible character, capable of terrifying
acts of bestial violence or noble acts of loyalty and
self-sacrifice. Originally serialized in a magazine in 1912, Tarzan
of the Apes was issued in book form in 1914, the first volume in

that would encompass film, radio, television, comics and more. With

The Beasts of Tarzan is the third adventure of the jungle lord and
displays the author's mythic hero at his most loyal, as he
struggles through terrible trials to reunite his family, and his
most savage, as he confronts the men who dared tear his family
apart. Edgar Rice Burroughs returns to the chronicles of one of the
world's most celebrated fictional characters, Tarzan of the Apes.
Old enemies resurface to torment Tarzan while he's in England,
living as the civilized Lord Greystoke. The kidnapping of his
infant son leads to the capture of both parents, and to Tarzan
being stranded, unarmed and naked, on the shore of a jungle island.
Maddened by a note left by the kidnappers, hinting at a terrible
fate for mother and child, and pitted against a savage collection
of jungle beasts, Lord Greystoke reverts to his primal self, a
savage animal of superhuman ferocity, and the worst opponent a
villain could have. Befriending a savage panther and leading a
small army of great apes, Tarzan will fight to restore his family
and make his enemies pay a heavy price. The author's vivid
imagination and clear prose grants his incredible tale a beguiling
verisimilitude, putting the reader into the wild action with the
persuasive power of a 20th century myth. Tarzan remains an
unforgettable character and a pop culture phenomenon. Originally
published in book form in 1914, The Beasts of Tarzan 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 The
Beasts of Tarzan is both modern and readable.
When the woman he loves is in danger, Carthoris follows the
footsteps of his heroic parents, John Carter and Dejah, to save
her. Carthoris is in love with Thuvia, the princess of Ptarth.
Constantly consumed by the thought of her, Carthoris is desperate
to proclaim his love. However, Thuvia will not entertain his
feelings, as she is betrothed to someone else, and Barsoomian
engagements can only be broken through death. Even though his
feelings are not reciprocated, Carthoris is still distraught when
Thuvia gets kidnapped. Immediately, he rushes to save her.
Traveling deep into the undiscovered South, the rescue mission
leads to the discovery of an ancient race of Barsoomian, the
Lothar. The Lothar are pale-skinned beings with powers that allow
them to create illusions purely from their imaginations, yet Thuvia
and Carthoris has bigger issues. Back in Ptarth, rumors circulate

stacked high against him. As their two prominent home cities,
Ptarth and Helium prepare to battle over this offense, Thuvia and

before it's too late. While Edgar Rice Burroughs' Thuvia, Maid of
Mars is the fourth in the Barsoom series, it is the first of the
collection to focus on a new generation of characters, Thuvia and
Carthoris. With the same level of action, excitement, and
imagination of the previous novels, Thuvia, Maid of Mars is a fresh
adventure that features new discoveries, unexplored settings, and a
relatable romance. This edition of Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar
Rice Burroughs features a new, eye-catching cover design and is
printed in an easy-to-read font. With these accommodations, Thuvia,
Maid of Mars caters to a modern audience while preserving the
