THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL Blue Book MAGAZINE TEXT. As little Nkima, Tarzan's messenger-monkey, swung through the tree-tops in purposeless search of distraction--for his heart was sad at his master's long absence--he spied a large party of white men and black, encamped in the African jungle. Had Nikima but known it, he held the fate of Europe in his little pink palm--for this encampment was composed of several men, and one woman, who were plotting in the interests of Communism for the day when Moscow should dominate the world. Their immediate reason for this expedition was to obtain the fabled gold from the treasure-vaults of Opar; this would furnish funds for their plan to embroil the world in war--leading, so they hoped, to the establishment of autonomous Soviet states everywhere.
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.
