	2	Tarzan of the Apes: Tarzan No. 1 Burroughs, Edgar Rice, Illustrated by Al Andersen and Jesse Marsh Ballantine Books 1993 Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A. 034531977x / 9780345319777 Softcover Very Good with no dust jacket Mass Market PB 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Fresh, clean softcover with sharp corners, solid binding, clean interior pp. First published in 1914, Edgar Rice Burroughs's romance has lost little of its force over the years--as film revivals and TV series well attest. Tarzan of the Apes is very much a product of its age: replete with bloodthirsty natives and a bulky, swooning American Negress, and haunted by what zoo specialists now call charismatic megafauna (great beasts snarling, roaring, and stalking, most of whom would be out of place in a real African jungle). Burroughs countervails such incorrectness, however, with some rather unattractive representations of white civilization--mutinous, murderous sailors, effete aristos, self-involved academics, and hard-hearted cowards. At Tarzan's heart rightly lies the resourceful and hunky title character, a man increasingly torn between the civil and the savage, for whom cutlery will never be less than a nightmare.The passages in which the nut-brown boy teaches himself to read and write are masterly and among the book's improbable, imaginative best. How tempting it is to adopt the ten-year-old's term for letters--"little bugs"! And the older Tarzan's realization that civilized "men were indeed more foolish and more cruel than the beasts of the jungle," while not exactly a new notion, is nonetheless potent. The first in Burroughs's serial is most enjoyable in its resounding oddities of word and thought, including the unforgettable "When Tarzan killed he more often smiled than scowled; and smiles are the foundation of beauty."

	3	The Martian Tales Trilogy Burroughs, Edgar Rice Barnes & Noble 2004 076075585x / 9780760755853 Softcover Near Fine Crisp clean softcover with squared binding, uncreased spine. No distractions. 1.5 x 8.2 x 5.4 Inches 617 pages The Martian Tales Trilogy is comprised of the first three Mars books. The first book, a Princess of Mars, introduces John Carter, an ex-Confederate soldier from Virginia who finds himself magically transported to Mars. Known to the locals as Barsoom, the planet is filled with various intelligent races of different colors. Carter will first encounter the warrior race of green men (actually all the races are interested in combat, but the green men are especially aggressive). In Barsoom's weaker gravity, Carter is almost superhumanly strong, and his fighting skills win the respect of the green men. His abilities will also be essential in rescuing the princess Dejah Thoris. Thoris is one of the red Martians who most closely resemble humans, and they soon fall for each other. The second book, The Gods of Mars, takes place twenty years later; fortunately the Martians age very slowly, and that trait has been passed on to Carter. He finds himself transported to the far south of Mars, an area that is supposed to be a paradise that old Martians go to when they become 1000 years old. Carter finds that the religion of Mars is a farce and goes about trying to expose it. Meanwhile, Dejah Thoris, thinking her husband Carter is dead, winds up in the area and in danger, ending the novel with a cliffhanger. All is concluded in the final book, The Warlord of Mars, which has Carter traversing Barsoom, contending with various colored Martians (black, red, white, yellow and green) , all while trying to save Dejah Thoris from the clutches of some nasty villains. Fortunately, Carter is a man whose built up a collection of powerful allies in all the races. Price: 12.00 USD
