Sobre este artículo
BURROUGHS, Edgar Rice. Tarzan of the Apes. NY: A.L. Burt (ca. 1918). 12mo, [viii] 401pp. + [4] advts. Green cloth stamped in black. A clean, bright copy with spine ends and corners lightly rubbed, former owner's name, city, and state embossed towards bottom of front free endpaper, lower corner of pp. 55-56 bears evidence of having been folded, in original color pictorial dust jacket (chipping and wear at edges, soiled and sunned, but still whole).
Early reprint, ca. 1918, issued from the plates of the McClurg 1914 first edition with its copyright page but with a new title page and frontispiece based on the original McClurg title page. Robert Zeuschner calls for the Burt first printing to be lettered in white and to have embossed lines on cover--this copy has the embossed lines, but the title is printed in black. The first book in Edgar Rice Burroughs' 24 book series detailing the adventures of Tarzan from his childhood being raised by apes in the jungle to his eventual encounters with other humans and Western society. First published in the pulp magazine The All-Story this is an early reprint of the title that started it all and inspired the many films.
Sinopsis
Tarzan of the Apes is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first in a series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was first published in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine in October, 1912; the first book edition was published in 1914 by A.C. McClurg & Co in Chicago. The publisher was made famous by their original publishing of the Tarzan of the Apes novels and other stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan of the Apes tells the story of Tarzan (“White Skin” in ape language) who is adopted as a baby by the she-ape Kala after his parents, the Lord and Lady Greystoke, pass away after being marooned in West Africa. Immediately popular, Burroughs continued the series into the 1940s with two dozen sequels, and the Tarzan character has been immortalized in books, films and television since. Tarzan was the first literary character to be registered in a trademark. Tarzan and the Castaways was the last finished story by Burroughs, the 24th in his series on Tarzan. In addition to the title novella, the book also includes two short stories about Tarzan. Tarzan: The Lost Adventure is a novel by American writer Joe R. Lansdale, based on an incomplete fragment of a Tarzan novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs which had been left unfinished at his death. The book was serialized in four parts by Dark Horse Comics, before being published as a single volume in 1995.
