    Brothers Judd Top 100 of the 20th Century: Novels (56)
    Author Info: Edgar Rice Burroughs
    There are certain books and authors that have an inordinate impact on our lives. Often as not, their particular significance to us as individuals extends far beyond that which they would have to anyone else and sometimes, if we return to them at a different point in our own lives, it can be hard to recapture why they should have seemed so momentous in the first place. One of the authors who really turned me into a reader was Edgar Rice Burroughs and I am ecstatic to find that his books are just as terrific in real life as they are in boyhood memories. I still vividly recall the cover of Tarzan and the Ant Men review of Around the World in Eighty Days ) and the adventures of Doc Savage, The Avenger, The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, etc., not to mention Tolkein and C.S. Lewis (see review of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe So imagine my pleasure when I found this old Ballantine Books paperback of Tarzan of the Apes , with a cover by Neal Adams showing an enraged Tarzan racing towards a screeching great ape who is grasping a seductively disheveled Jane by her flowing blonde locks. It's amazing, you haven't read a word yet and already your pulse is racing. Then open the book and, wonder of wonders, it's every bit as thrilling and wonderful as I remembered it. Shipwrecks, mutinies, buried treasure, lion attacks, hostile tribesmen, and most of all the ape pack and the herculean efforts of one lost little boy to survive in the forbidding wilds of Africawhat more could a reader want in a book?

    DANTON'S DEN
    MEET DANTON BURROUGHS Danton was raised in Tarzana, California, in a world created by his illustrious grandfather and talented parents a magical world of jungles, distant planets, exotic lands, and inner earths in which heroes and villains larger than life leapt from books, comics, film, radio and movies. It was an exciting fantasy world that stoked a young boy's imagination and daydreams. The young boy grew into a man, but the imagination and dreams stayed with him. He was the obvious choice to step into the family business as director of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. and to carry his grandfather's legacy to even greater heights. A major part of his job today is to govern the worldwide commercial activities that utilize Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and other ERB franchises. Throughout his association with ERB, Inc., Danton has strived to make the Burroughs archives available to researchers, scholars, media personnel, and the countless fans who phone or even try to beat down the doors of the Burroughs offices on Ventura Boulevard. He is perhaps the most knowledgeable scholar, conservator, and collector in his field of popular culture. With the arrival of the new millennium Danton started to make much of the massive ERB archive accessible to the world by offering regular features on the Internet. Tarzan.com has been designed to guide readers through the ever-expanding Burroughs Family online archive.

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/railway/age/burroughs_bio.html
    Well before the age of the multimedia corporation, Edgar Rice Burroughs was a multimedia corporation unto himself. Tarzan of the Apes was published in 1912. The next year, Burroughs founded the Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., publishing house. In 1934, with Tarzan an established Hollywood franchise, he founded Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises and Burroughs-Tarzan Pictures. Burroughs had not always been such a savvy businessman. Born into a well-off Chicago family, Burroughs was something of a ne'er-do-well, leaving a job in Salt Lake City in 1904 to take another in Chicago from 1906 to 1908, and leaving that to hold a number of managerial and clerical positions through 1912. In that year, Burroughs had his first literary success with the pulp novel Under the Moons of Mars, featuring the hero John Carter, who would go on to do battle with Martians in another 10 books. It was, however, the Tarzan series (35 volumes of it) that fueled the Edgar Rice Burroughs industry. With the Martian books, the Tarzan books, and any of the other series or stand-alone titles in his repertoire, Burroughs specialized in the formulaic boys' adventure: All of his plots follow a courageous and individualistic hero as he battles monstrous villains and rescues the imperiled female. What separated Burroughs from lesser pulp writers was a meticulous attention to detail, whether of real worlds or worlds he imagined. This attention to visual detail also meant that Burroughs's narratives were ready for the burgeoning film industry. Hollywood fell at least as hard for Tarzan as Jane did, and Burroughs's creation has been a staple of film since the silent

    NU OF THE NIOCENE
    NU, THE son of Nu, his mighty muscles rolling beneath his smooth bronzed skin, moved silently through the jungle primeval. His handsome head with its shock of black hair, roughly cropped between sharpened stones, was high held, the delicate nostrils questioning each vagrant breeze for word of Oo, hunter of men. Now his trained senses catch the familiar odor of Ta, the great woolly rhinoceros, directly in his path, but Nu, the son of Nu, does not hunt Ta this day. Does not the hide of Ta's brother already hang before the entrance of Nu's cave? No, today Nu hunts the gigantic cat, the fierce saber-toothed tiger, Oo, for Nat-ul, wondrous daughter of old Tha, will mate with none but the mightiest of hunters. Only so recently as the last darkness, as, beneath the great, equatorial moon, the two had walked hand in hand beside the restless sea she had made it quite plain to Nu, the son of Nu, that not even he, son of the chief of chiefs, could claim her unless there hung at the thong of his loin cloth the fangs of Oo. "Nat-ul," she had said to him, "wishes her man to be greater than other men. She loves Nu now better than her very life, but if Love is to walk at her side during a long life Pride and Respect must walk with it." Her slender hand reached up to stroke the young giant's black hair. "I am very proud of my Nu even now," she continued, "for among all the young men of the tribe there is no greater hunter, or no mightier fighter than Nu, the son of Nu. Should you, single-handed, slay Oo before a grown man's beard has darkened your cheek there will be none greater in all the world than Nat-ul's mate, Nu, the son of Nu."

    18. NU'S FIRST VOYAGE
    Soon all were out of sight beyond a promontory except a single craft which fished before the village. These men evidently sought less formidable game, and Nu could see that from the teeming sea they were dragging in great fish almost as rapidly as they could hurl their weapons. Soon the boat was completely filled, and with their great load the men paddled slowly inshore. As they came a sudden resolution formed in Nu's mind. The sight of the dangerous sport upon the waters had filled him with a strong desire to emulate these strangers, but greater than that was the power of another suggestion which the idea held forth. As the men dragged the boat upon the beach the women came down to meet them, carrying great bags of bull hide sewn with bullock sinew. Into these they gathered the fish and dragged their loads over the ground toward their camp. The men, their day's work evidently finished, stretched out beneath the shade of trees to sleep. This was the time! Nu moved stealthily to his hands and knees. He grasped his long spear and his stone ax tightly in his hands. The boat lay upon the open beach. There was no near point where he might reach it undetected by the women. The alternative rather appealed to Nu's warlike nature. It was nothing less than rushing directly through the village. He came to his feet and advanced lightly among the shelters. No need to give the alarm before he was detected. He was directly behind the young woman who scraped the aurochs' skin. She did not hear his light footfall. The baby, now sitting by her side playing with the aurochs' tail, looked up to see the stranger close upon him. He lunged toward his mother with a lusty shriek. Instantly the camp was in commotion. No need now for stealth. With a war whoop that might have sprung from a score of lusty lungs Nu leaped through the village among the frightened women and the startled men, awakened rudely from their sleep.

Cheri Barb Aaron Cynthia Lars Jackie Aaron's Commentary Edgar Rice Burroughs - Tarzan of the Apes In this cynical age, it's wonderfully refreshing to get to cheer for characters of uncompromising nobility and bravery like Tarzan and Jane Porter. I find it very easy to get caught up in their stories despite their comic book attributes and even though they are virtuous to an absurd extreme (as exemplified by Jane's willingness to marry a man she doesn't love rather than hurt his feelings by telling him she really loves Tarzan). Why did Tarzan become such a cultural phenomenon? I think the fantasy of combining the virtues of civilized man with the strengths of the wild savage is compelling. The joy of roaming the jungle is so fresh in this book (it wears thin over two dozen sequels), you have to love it.

    http://www.cswnet.com/~dbruce/erb/edgar.html
    How I Wrote the Tarzan Books
    I have often been asked how I came to write. The best answer is that I needed the money. When I started I was 35 and had failed in every enterprise I had ever attempted.
    I was born in Chicago. After epidemics had closed two schools that I attended, my parents shipped me to a cattle ranch in Idaho where I rode for my brothers who were only recently out of college and had entered the cattle business as the best way of utilizing their Yale degrees. Later, I was dropped from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts; flunked examinations for West Point; and was discharged from the regular army on account of a weak heart. Next, my brother Henry backed me in setting up a stationery store in Pocatello, Idaho. That didn't last long either.
    When I got married in 1900 I was making $15 a week in my father's storage battery business.
    In 1903 my oldest brother, George, gave me a position on a gold dredge he was operating in the Stanley Basin country in Idaho. Our next stop was in Oregon, where my brother Henry was managing a gold dredge on the Snake River. We arrived on a freight wagon, with a collie dog and $40. Forty dollars did not seem like much to get anywhere with, so I decided to enter a poker game at a local saloon and run my capital up to several hundred dollars during the night. When I returned at midnight to the room we had rented, we still had the collie dog. Otherwise, we were not broke.
    I worked in Oregon until the company failed, and then my brother got me a job as a railroad policeman in Salt Lake City. We were certainly poverty-stricken there, but pride kept us from asking for help. Neither of us knew much about anything that was practical, but we had to do everything ourselves, including the family wash. Not wishing to see Mrs. Burroughs do work of that sort, I volunteered to do it myself. During those months, I half soled my own shoes and did numerous odd jobs.

    We admit it freely. ERB is one of our main inspirations. We just hope he'll forgive us for what we've done in the as yet unpublished chapter "Misfits of Mars". We know you will, once you've seen Jane and X8.5 displayed in Martian costumes. Did I say displayed? I meant "displaying Martian costumes". Obviously. Honest. One of the many likeable things about Edgar, is that he started writing fairly late in life and then went on to earn oodles of money. His first serial, "Under the Moons of Mars" (later republished as "A Princess of Mars") saw print in 1912, when the author was 36 and barely making a living from selling pencil sharpeners. One critic has described it as "a fantastic product of frustration and daydream". We like that, too. Here's some ERB novels of special interest to WHIO readers:

    Ze efvil Krauts are at it again! Courtesy of a dastardly Unterwasserbootkapitän, the hero and heroine get a one-way ticket to a forgotten island. Here dinosaurs roam and Neanderthals play, a women is still a woman, a man is a half-ape, volcanos erupt in steamy jungles and.... uh, where was I going? Anyway, buy it! (This edition also contains the "sequels", "The People that Time Forgot" and "Out of Time's Abyss": Although originally published as a trilogy it's really one story, and was republished in one volume already in 1924.)
