Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - SEVERAL YEARS had elapsed since I had found the op-portunity to do any big-game hunting; for at last I had my plans almost perfected for a return to my old stamping-grounds in northern Africa, where in other days I had had excellent sport in pursuit of the king of beasts. The date of my departure had been set; I was to leave in two weeks. No schoolboy counting the lagging hours that must pass before the beginning of "long vacation" released him to the delirious joys of the sum-mer camp could have been filled with greater impatience or keener anticipation. And then came a letter that started me for Africa twelve days ahead of my schedule.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in 1875 in Chicago and is best known for creating Tarzan and Barsoom (Mars). He worked in various fields, including as a soldier, cowboy, and businessman, before becoming a writer. His big break came in 1912 with Tarzan of the Apes, which launched his literary career.Burroughs' Tarzan novels were hugely popular, leading to numerous sequels and adaptations in film, TV, and comics. His works defined the adventure genre in pulp fiction and captivated readers with tales of exotic worlds. In addition to Tarzan, he created the Barsoom and Pellucidar series, blending science fiction and fantasy.Despite mixed critical reception, Burroughs became one of the most successful authors of his time, writing hundreds of novels, short stories, and articles. He died in 1950, but his legacy lives on through his characters, especially Tarzan. His influence on modern adventure storytelling and popular culture remains significant.
