Autorenporträt
Born in September of 1875 in Illinois, Edgar Rice Burroughs was an impressive author who left a significant legacy that still inspires authors to this day. He wrote widely, authoring at least 100 stories between 1911 and his death in 1950, in Encino, California after two divorces and raising three children. Burroughs wrote science fiction, fantasy, adventure, historical, westerns, and just about anything he could sell. His books inspired many films and television shows, breaking records and becoming best sellers in numerous categories. He incorporated himself before other authors even considered it, allowing him to protect his ideas even as Tarzan and his other characters became some of the most popular of the twentieth century, which continue to inspire many remakes. Burroughs made many comic strips of his characters, maintaining his popularity in many mediums. He also published with pulp magazines and serialized works, maintaining momentum and interest from many fans even as he alternated between different projects. Before becoming an author, Burroughs tried a bit of everything, everywhere, with differing levels of success, moving back and forth across the United States with his family, eventually settling for a while in what would later be known as Tarzana, CA. Burroughs was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2003.
