Produktbeschreibung

In "The Eternal Savage," Edgar Rice Burroughs crafts a riveting tale that interweaves themes of primitivism, civilization, and the quest for identity through the lens of a lost world narrative. Written in Burroughs' characteristic pulp fiction style, the novel unfolds in a captivating setting that juxtaposes the savage instincts of primal societies against the cultivated manners of contemporary civilization. The prose is rich with adventure and vivid imagery, typical of Burroughs'Äô explorations of human nature's duality, making it a compelling read that resonates with contemporary discussions around societal values and the essence of humanity. Edgar Rice Burroughs, known primarily for his iconic "Tarzan" series, was profoundly influenced by his experiences and the socio-political climate of the early 20th century. His fascination with adventure, exploration, and the clash of cultures provided the fertile ground from which "The Eternal Savage" emerged. Burroughs' understanding of the allure of the unexplored and the interplay between man and nature is deeply embedded in his narrative, reflecting both the romanticism and anxieties of his time. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in early science fiction and fantasy literature, as it not only showcases Burroughs'Äô imaginative storytelling but also invites critical reflections on civilization'Äôs progress. Fans of adventure and anthropological themes will find "The Eternal Savage" both engaging and thought-provoking, solidifying its place as an essential work in the canon of early 20th-century literature.
