Book 1 of the Tarzan\u00ae Series \u2013 Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials<\/h3>\n

Orphaned as a babe in the African jungle, tiny John Clayton, the only child of Lord and Lady Greystoke, is rescued by a tribe of great apes. The child, now named \u201cTarzan,\u201d grows to manhood in this savage world among the fierce anthropoids. Aided by his keen knife and innate intelligence, Tarzan ascends to become king of the apes, able to face any peril and conquer all foes.<\/p>\n

When men come to Tarzan\u2019s jungle, they bring danger that is motivated by greed and deceit. All of Tarzan\u2019s cunning will be required if he is to defeat this threat and win the love of Jane Porter, the beautiful young woman whose appearance in Tarzan\u2019s jungle leaves him forever changed.<\/p>\n

The Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library<\/h3>\n

For the first time ever, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library presents the complete literary works of the Master of Adventure in uniform hardcover editions. Published by the company founded by Mr. Burroughs in 1923, each volume of the Authorized Library is packed with extras and rarities not to be found in any other edition. From cover art and frontispieces by legendary artist Joe Jusko to forewords and afterwords by today\u2019s authorities and luminaries to a treasure trove of bonus materials mined from the company\u2019s extensive archives in Tarzana, California, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library will take you on a journey of wonder and imagination you will never forget.<\/p>\n

Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure<\/h3>\n

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world\u2019s most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs\u2019 books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.<\/p>\n

Joe Jusko: Visionary Artist<\/h3>\n

Joe Jusko is among today\u2019s most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko\u2019s longtime love of Burroughs\u2019 work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author\u2019s creative vision to life.<\/p>\n
