Introduction by Junot Díaz • 360 pages “A Princess of Mars is singularly important . . . in that it innovated the grammar for the American version of the lost world romance.” —Junot Díaz Tarzan of the Apes

Junot Díaz and Michael Chabon on Edgar Rice Burroughs and A Princess of Mars
|
NOTE: These two Centennial editions of ERB's first novels are highly recommended. . .
BUT: ERB fans and scholars will find much of the material in the A Princess of Mars foreword by Junot Diaz to contain gross, over-the-top misinterpretations of the novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the time ERB had come under criticism from his peers for his imaginative and tolerant views on environment, race, feminism, equality, alien worlds and his choice of villains from every racial group. Mr. Diaz obviously hasn't read the numerous 19th Century writings of African life written by explorers and adventurers of the day nor the accepted scientific theories of the universe from that time. . . nor has he given him appropriate credit for views that were way ahead of his time when the novels were written.
An Illustrated Reader's Guide By David A. Ullery |
Those who recognize that the original Tarzan is a literary creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs understand that the exploits of Tarzan are best explored through the magical medium of the printed word. Readers can experience a journey that lasts through 24 books and wanders not only into the jungle depths but farther down through the Earth's crust into the savage prehistoric land of Pellucidar. Also covered is the long out of print The Tarzan Twins as well as the recent Tarzan, the Lost Adventure and The Eternal Savage. This book serves as a literary guide to all the Tarzan novels. |

SAN DIEGO, May 07, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ClearEdge Power and The

the historic rehabilitation of The Lafayette Hotel, San Diego. Designed
to showcase the recent rehabilitation of a San Diego landmark and the cutting-edge
green technologies implemented in the project, the event will take place

The coin then becomes a physical object that serves as a mind-focalization tool to help the holder make the fantasy more real. It's a simple idea but many people react very strongly to it! Tom Maringer has spent many years as a knife and sword maker... but
lately has been concentrating on less lethal fantasy items.
