Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a master storyteller and one of the most influential figures in early 20th-century adventure fiction. Born in 1875 in Chicago, Burroughs spent his early years dabbling in a wide array of careers-from soldier and salesman to pencil sharpener wholesaler-before discovering his true calling: writing tales that stirred the imagination.Best known as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, Burroughs launched one of the most iconic characters in literary history, captivating readers across the globe with stories of a man raised by apes who bridges two worlds-civilization and the wild. With the Tarzan series, he didn't just write books; he created a legend.Burroughs was also a pioneer of science fiction, creating fantastical worlds in his Barsoom (Mars) and Pellucidar (hollow Earth) series that would go on to inspire generations of writers, filmmakers, and dreamers. His storytelling combined fast-paced adventure, rich imagination, and bold heroes who challenged both the elements and the human spirit.By the time he penned Tarzan and the City of Gold in 1933, Burroughs had already become a household name, and his tales had leapt off the page into radio, comics, and film. Even today, his work continues to fuel the modern mythos of action-adventure fiction.Edgar Rice Burroughs didn't just write pulp fiction-he defined it.
