This is one of his strongest novels with a touch of Tarzan, Pellucidar, and even John Carter thrown in. The plotting is steady and twists enough to keep the reader off guard, and the native woman that ERB draws this time is strong but wholly compliant to her lover. The reading is consistently strong and deserves a full five star ating from this reader. A Burroughs non-Tarzan book, with what appears to be his most common theme for these books (and a few of the Tarzan books): A civilized man, sometimes weak and puny, sometimes not, becomes lost in a savage land. Unskilled at first, the man eventually becomes the equal or the superior of the savages of the land, meets a beautiful wild woman who at first holds him in contempt. He eventually wins her respect and then love, and rescues her from the savage men or animals of the land. Most often he settles down with her in the savage land as his mate; occasionally he takes her to the outside world with him. In this book, this is essentially the plot, with the Cambodian jungles as the locale. Entertaining, but not much different from a dozen other Burroughs books. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1875. After serving a short time in the 7th U.S. Cavalry, Burroughs was a shopkeeper, gold miner, cowboy, and policeman before becoming a full-time writer. His first novel, Tarzan of the Apes, was published in 1914, and along with its 22 sequels has sold over 30 million copies in 58 languages. Author of numerous other jungle and science fiction novels and novellas, including The Land That Time Forgot, Burroughs had a writing career that spanned almost 30 years, with his last novel, The Land of Terror, being published in 1941. He died in 1950 at his ranch near Tarzana, the California town named for his legendary hero. No library descriptions found. |
