In "TARZAN: 8 Novels in One Volume," Edgar Rice Burroughs crafts a rich tapestry of adventure that encapsulates the essence of survival, identity, and the clash of civilization.

Las novelas de Edgar Rice Burroughs forman un universo cuya exploración nunca es definitiva. Y eso es igualmente cierto, en un sentido literal, en por lo menos cuatro de los mundos donde el autor situa a sus heroes: el Africa de Tarzan, Marte, Venus y Pellucidar, el mundo que imagina en el interior de una Tierra que supone hueca. Esos mundos nunca acaban de ser descubiertos por los personajes de Burroughs: el horizonte de sus aventuras se modifica constantemente. Se ensancha de vez en cuando, pero siempre se desplaza. Siempre hay, justo mas alla del pais donde termina el reconocimiento, una ciudad olvidada, una raza desconocida, un mar misterioso que atraeran a Tarzan, a John Carter, a Carson Napier, a David Innes o a sus compañeros. Este septimo volumen del ciclo de Pellucidar esta formado, como los ultimos libros de los ciclos de Barsoom (Marte) y Amton (Venus) por una serie de cuatro relatos que fueron publicados en las revistas de Ziff-Davis, en este caso en Amazing Stories. Como en las otras series, es un viaje de perdida y recuperacion de los heroes que, ahora, vuelven a casa despues de andar sin rumbo y desperdigados por todo el mundo del interior de la Tierra, luchando con hombres mono, dinosaurios, tigres de dientes de sable y toda clase de criaturas a cual mas peligrosa, sin dejar que a sus pies les salgan telarañas y sin dejar en ningun momento de tenernos emocionados y, como se suele decir, pegados al borde de la butaca esperando lo que les podra esperar a la vuelta de la siguiente roca. ¡A leer!
