David Innes is a young man who has just inherited a large mining company. An eccentric inventor, Abner Perry, convinces Innes to underwrite a project to build an “iron mole,” claiming it will make them both wealthy. The mechanical beast works well-actually too well. On the maiden voyage, instead of digging for a few minutes and returning, they plunge straight through the earth’s crust into the “inner world” of Pellucidar. This world resembles Earth but is a horizonless, primeval tropical landscape where the sun neither sets nor rises, and it is populated by “Sagoth” gorilla men, wild human slaves, and the ruling hypnotic, reptilian “Mahors.”
Upon arriving at this strange world, the men are immediately captured and enslaved. But soon Perry learns to read the language of the Mahors and discovers a secret way to turn the tables! True to Burroughs form, this nonstop fantasy thriller weaves together savage islanders, pterodactyls, telepathy, and, of course, romance.

Edgar Rice Burroughs created one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture, Tarzan of the Apes. It is impossible to overstate his influence on entire genres of popular literature in the decades after his enormously winning pulp novels sparked the public’s imagination.
Jungle Tales of Tarzan explores the life of the young Tarzan, his adventurous boyhood and teen years among the great apes and other wild creatures that were his only family. The young Tarzan was unlike his companions and playmates-theirs was a simple, savage life, filled with little but killing or being killed. But Tarzan had all of a normal boy’s desire to learn. He had taught himself to read from books left by his dead father. Now he sought to apply this book knowledge to the world around him. He sought for such things as the source of dreams and the whereabouts of God. And he searched for the love and affection that every human being needs.
The stories that can be found in Jungles Tales of Tarzan are “Tarzan’s First Love,” “The Capture of Tarzan,” “The Fight for the Balu,” “The God of Tarzan,” “Tarzan and the Black Boy,” “The Witch-Doctor Seeks Vengeance,” “The End of Bukawai,” “The Lion,” “The Nightmare,” “The Battle for Teeka,” “A Jungle Joke,” and “Tarzan Rescues the Moon.”

Tarzan had been betrayed. Drugged and helpless, he was delivered into the hands of the dreadful priests of Opar, last bastion of ancient Atlantis. La, High Priestess of the Flaming God, had saved him once again, driven by her hopeless love for the ape-man. But now she was betrayed and threatened by her people. To save her, Tarzan fled with her into the legendary Valley of Diamonds, while Jad-bal-ja, his faithful golden lion, followed. Ahead lay a land where savage gorillas ruled over servile men.

Edgar Rice Burroughs is the creator of one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture: Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is the fifth book in the Tarzan series and considered by many to be one of the best.
In one of his earlier adventures, Tarzan visited the mysterious, ruinous city of Opar that dated back to Atlantean times and was now inhabited by a strange horde of bloodthirsty, apelike priests headed by La, the High Priestess of the Flaming God. Thence, he brought back very little of the great store of ingoted gold hidden deep in a hill, and was rich for life.
In the current adventure, Tarzan returns to the gold-mining city of Opar to contend with greedy villains and the amorous attentions of the High Priestess. But the priests who work for her have other ideas-they don’t intend to let Tarzan escape their sacrificial knives a second time.

It’s 2137 A.D. To civilized Americans, Europe exists only as a legend, an ancient mythic land, a civilization that went mad back in 1914 and tore itself to pieces in a blood-mad frenzy, forcing America to cut off all contact for its own protection. No American has seen Europe or any European for more than two centuries.
But now, a combination of bad weather and a subordinate’s treachery forces Lieutenant Jefferson Turck of the Pan-American Navy across that line. He finds himself marooned at sea in a small boat, in which he makes his way to the nearest land. There he finds himself on the shore of a wild land teeming with savage tigers and primitive tribesmen — a land that was once called England ….

His plan is foiled when Jack escapes with the help of Akut, the great ape. The pair flee to the jungle where Tarzan was raised a generation earlier, and Jack establishes his own reputation among the apes as Korak the Killer. He also rescues Meriem, a beautiful young woman, from a band of Arab raiders. She turns out to be the daughter of Armand Jacot, the Prince de Cadrenet, and is therefore a fitting mate for the son of Lord Greystoke.

In the wild, unexplored coastal jungles of West Africa lives a wild human boy named Tarzan, the adopted son of a tribe of fierce almost-human anthropoid apes — but in reality the unknown heir of a wealthy and titled English noble family. Then one day, a small party of American treasure-seekers is marooned on Tarzan’s beach, including a lovely Baltimore belle named Jane Porter. When she leaves, Tarzan quits his jungle life and learns the ways of civilized man, so that he can follow her. But after he arrives, he finds he must choose between his noble birthright and her future happiness …
The two books in this duology were the world’s introduction to Tarzan of the Apes — possibly the most widely recognized character in fiction. Over the century since he was introduced to us, he has starred in hundreds of books, comics, and films, and thousands of derivative bits of pop culture such as bubble-gum cards and lunch pails. Only Bram Stoker’s Dracula has starred in more movies.
Yet the Tarzan most people think they know is far different from the original Tarzan — the Tarzan you‘ll meet in these pages. The Tarzan most of us know is a crude, powerful, primitive man, who speaks in monosyllables (”Me Tarzan. You Jane. Where boy?”) . The original Tarzan was altogether different — fluent in at least four languages (Ape, French, English and Arabic, in that order) and equally comfortable in the smoking-room of a great ocean liner as he was in the savage jungle.
This Pulp-Lit Annotated Edition of Burroughs’ first two Tarzan books tells the story of the ape-man’s origins, from his childhood adventures to his triumphant arrival as Lord Greystoke.

In this fourth novel of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popular Barsoom series, the focus shifts from John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and Dejah Thoris of Helium (protagonists of the first three books in the series) to their son, Carthoris, prince of Helium, and Thuvia, princess of Ptarth.
When Thuvia is abducted, blame is cast upon Carthoris. But both are innocent victims of the sinister Prince Astok of Dusar, whose lust for Thuvia brings all of Mars to the brink of war. Carthoris ends up following in his father’s footsteps, fighting savage beasts and phantom armies as he rescues Thuvia and saves Barsoom from destruction.
