Beschreibung

First published in 1916, this fifth installment of the Tarzan series returns to the lost Atlantean colony of Opar and tests the ape-man's identity against the pull of the primitive world.
When Tarzan is betrayed and left for dead, a violent blow to the head robs him of memory and reason. Stripped of civilized identity, he reverts to instinct and returns to the jungle as a creature of raw survival. Jane believes him dead. Allies scatter. Enemies circle. In this altered state, Tarzan is drawn once more to Opar-the crumbling remnant of a forgotten civilization where gold, ritual, and obsession endure.
Within Opar's ancient vaults lies treasure beyond imagining. La, high priestess of the ruined city, remains fiercely devoted to the man who once defied her. Meanwhile, opportunists and conspirators seek to exploit Tarzan's condition for their own gain. As greed, loyalty, and primal identity collide, Burroughs weaves one of the most psychologically charged adventures in the series-balancing lost-world fantasy with a stark exploration of memory and selfhood.
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar stands as a pivotal entry in the Tarzan saga, expanding the mythology of Opar while pushing its hero to the brink between man and beast. A cornerstone of early twentieth-century adventure fiction, it remains one of Burroughs' most intense and enduring jungle romances.

Über den Autor

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American novelist best known for creating some of the most enduring adventure heroes of the twentieth century. He achieved immediate success with Tarzan of the Apes (1912), introducing the jungle-born Tarzan, and soon afterward launched the Barsoom series beginning with A Princess of Mars, establishing a model for planetary romance and interplanetary adventure.Burroughs' fiction is marked by sweeping imagination, exotic settings, and fast-moving narrative momentum. His tales of lost civilizations, distant worlds, and heroic survival captured the spirit of early pulp fiction and helped shape the development of modern adventure and science fiction [...] the course of his career, Burroughs wrote dozens of novels across multiple series, many of which were adapted into films, comics, and radio programs. His influence remains visible in popular culture, particularly in adventure fantasy and space opera traditions that continue to draw upon the archetypes he helped define.
