Edgar Rice Burroughs

"The Lad and the Lion" is the first story by Burroughs that was adapted into a movie. It follows the assassination of a king, the quick escape of the heir Michael, and the subsequent fates of both the prince and his rightful country. Through a series of wild and dangerous escapades, Michael finds himself on the shores of Africa, and becomes friends with a big lion. But his enemies are right behind him. The chapters alternate from what is happening with Michael in Africa and the situation in his home country. Tarzan-like and fast-paced, the novel is definitely a must for fans of adventure fiction in general.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author, best known for his novel ‘Tarzan of the Apes’ (1914) and its sequels as well as the Barsoom series. During World War II, he was one of the oldest U.S war correspondents.

The Lad and the Lion

When Nu, a caveman from 100,000 years ago, is transported via a magic spell to the present, this can only mean one thing – adventure!

He falls in love with a girl who is the reincarnation of his long-lost lover, only for them to be transported back to the Stone Age. Time-travel, heroic deeds, dangerous situations, entertaining and breathtaking escapades (let’s not forget Tarzan as well) turn "The Eternal Lover" into a story about treachery, love and a fight for what is right and true. 

A recommended reading to fans of Burroughs, adventure fiction aficionados and readers of romantic stories.

Tarzan and his adventures are loved by both young and old, and are evergreen classics. Many have watched at least one Tarzan tv series or movie with the most popular probably being the Walt Disney animation film from 1999 and 'The Legend of Tarzan' from 2016 starring Alexander Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Eternal Lover

Love and greed, cowardice and heroism, rights and wrongs. This story set in the jungles of Africa has it all. You won't believe who turns out to be the hero of this suspenseful tale!

'The Man Eater' is an adventure novel that takes place in Congo, where the Belgian missionaries suffer frequent attacks and killings by the native Wakandas. There is no Tarzan this time, just an unusual hero. He takes it upon himself to punish the wrongdoers and go after justice and peace. 

A little bit of racial stereotyping and language which wouldn't be tolerated today, but all in all, it is a compelling and highly entertaining adventure novel that fans of Burroughs and Tarzan enthusiasts will devour in one go.
