Produktbeschreibung
Edgar Rice Burroughs'Äô "Beyond Thirty" is a thought-provoking foray into a post-apocalyptic future, woven with a compelling narrative and rich, imaginative world-building. Set in the 22nd century, the novel explores themes of civilization's dichotomies, human resilience, and cultural determinism, as the protagonist, Lieutenant Colonel Dan el Elysse, navigates through a world where Europe has become a barbaric wasteland while America remains a bastion of self-imposed isolation. Burroughs employs a vivid, action-oriented prose complemented by a keen eye for societal critique, embodying elements typical of early science fiction as well as the romance genre, which places his work firmly in the literary context of his time, both reflecting and challenging contemporary societal norms. Edgar Rice Burroughs, the prolific American writer best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of the early 20th century. His experiences as a soldier and his fascination with adventure often translate into works that question imperialism and explore the possibilities of human evolution. His varied life journeys undoubtedly fueled his creative imagination, allowing him to craft intricate narratives that stretch beyond conventional boundaries. "Beyond Thirty" is a must-read for enthusiasts of speculative fiction and those intrigued by the crossroads of civilization and barbarism. The novel will not only captivate you with its thrilling exploits but also provoke contemplation about cultural values and the stability of modern societies. Burroughs'Äô masterful storytelling invites readers of all backgrounds to ponder the implications of isolation and humanity'Äôs innate drive for exploration.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author most recognized for his prolific work in adventure, science fiction, and fantasy genres. He is best known for conceiving the characters Tarzan and John Carter, as well as writing the Pellucidar, Amtor, and Caspak trilogies. Tarzan's popularity grew quickly, and Burroughs took use of it in every way possible, including a syndicated Tarzan comic strip, films, and souvenirs. Tarzan is still one of the most popular fictional characters and a cultural symbol. Burroughs' California ranch is now the hub of the Tarzana neighborhood in Los Angeles, which is named for the character. Burroughs was an outspoken supporter of eugenics and scientific racism in both his fiction and nonfiction; Tarzan was intended to embody these ideas. Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago (he later spent many years in the Oak Park suburb), the fourth son of Major George Tyler Burroughs, a businessman and Civil War veteran, and his wife, Mary Evaline (Zieger) Burroughs. His middle name comes from his paternal grandmother, Mary Coleman Rice Burroughs. Burroughs was almost entirely of English heritage, with a family line in North America dating back to the Colonial era. Burroughs was derived from settler Edmund Rice, an English Puritan who migrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 17th century, via his Rice grandmother. He once said, "I can trace my ancestry back to Deacon Edmund Rice."
