Tarzan or John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke is the son of a British lord and lady who were marooned on the Atlantic coast of Africa by mutineers. When he was only an infant, his mother died, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe by whom John was adopted. He gets the ape name Tarzan and he is being raised in the African jungles by the Mangani great apes. Tarzan later experiences civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer.
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Beside Tarzan's adventures, Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving Earthly adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs's fictional name for Mars, and Amtor, his fictional name for Venus), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns and historical romances.

I began to think I would read books that were made into great movies- you know, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan ( haven't read yet), The Martian ( only I read it first), ... Anyway, you kind of get the idea. I saw a movie John Carter by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I was intrigued as I know he was the guy that wrote Tarzan. I wasn't interested inTarzan ( yet) so I tried John Carter of Mars and all the Barsoom episodes. Wow!!!! Great stuff. Well, I shifted to this that and the other thing and finally, finally decided to give Tarzan a try. So, just do it! Just read it, or at least a couple of episodes. Really! Try at least the first three and reall enjoy Son of Tarzan. It is absolutely NOTHING like the movies at all. Much better- well, much different. I now can say for the time he wrote, and for the types of fiction and science fiction he tried to write, he is definitely one of the best in the business. You will really enjoy his take on, " just what would happen if you were dropped into a jungle and were brought up with NO reference to man as we know it. " What and how would we become? How different would we be from what we consider to be " normal"? I suggest you give these a try. For $.99 I have what seems like an endless supply of sheer enjoyment, pause for thought and really enjoyable adventure. I wish I could have met the man that wrote it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Reading Revisited
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016
Verified Purchase
These novels were some of my favorites when I was younger. To find all of them in one volume for under $5.00, produced a nostalgic impulse that compelled me to buy them. They were written in the early 1900's in simple prose by a man who wasn't really a writer, but his seemingly boundless imagination turned him into a very popular one. Some of the references are dated, but it doesn't distract from the story. I enjoyed them as much , if not more, than when I read them as a teen-ager. To read them as an adult presented the stories from a whole different perspective that delighted me. They are full of adventurous tales with creative plot twists and marvelously nasty villains. I've seen all of the movies, and most of their plot lines just don't measure up to the stories they are based on If they are the type of books that might appeal to you, I think it may surprise you how quickly you can get caught up in them. .

4.0 out of 5 stars A great series!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016

A wonderful series, with the first book being a classic; it is one of, if not the best adventure story ever written. The following books don't quite reach that level, but they display marvelous creativity in characterizations and settings. The best thing I can say about this collection is that it is such FUN ! If you know a preteen or young teen who hasn't read it yet, give this as a gift...they will thank you, and always remember you for the introduction.

One quibble...the proofreading is nonexistent. Spell check was run without human eye ever seeing the text. It is why my rating was four rather than five stars. Please address this problem on the next edition as it seriously detracts from reading enjoyment!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful full (almost) collection which is well formatted.
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016

I started reading Burroughs at a very young age over 60 years ago and unless I am missing something I have read all his books dealing with not only Tarzan, but (my favorites) Mars (John Carter, et al), Pellucidar, Caspak, Venus and so on. As a matter of fact, over the years I have collected almost all these books and collected various editions of each. I love pulp fiction and can say the same for Doc Savage and Conan among others.

These books, many of which were first published in magazines, were initially meant for older readers and not juvenile but they have become more or less ageless as to reading age and have fans from eight years old and up.

This is a great collection and as has been pointed out in other reviews, is only missing one of the Tarzan books, i.e. “Tarzan and the Madman.” The books are well formatted and work perfectly on my Kindle. I ordered these simply because rather than dig through more books shelves and boxes than I care to admit I have, I have easy access to these books and it is far better to grab a Kindle in the evening and read one of these stories (in my case – reread) than watch the pap of T.V.

Some have been critical of these books due to the fact that the follow a formula. This is absolutely true and the formula used in Tarzan is used in this author’s other books. Hey, show me a long series of books that does not follow a formula!

I have always felt that people my age appreciate the Tarzan stories more than the current generation. I have found this to not be true and find quite a number of young people...and older, who still enjoy these tales. Folks, these stories have been around for over 100 years now and are still going strong...that should tell you something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Series & Fantastic Writing!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016

I've always known of Edgar Rice Burroughs, known he wrote Tarzan, and several other series. I'd just never gotten around to reading his books before. I'm on the 3rd book after a very brief break (I read books 1 & 2 back-to-back). Truly excellent writing, more advanced than I ever really expected; especially for a book that was originally published in a pulp fiction magazine in the early 1900s. Anyone who enjoys adventure stories will love this series. For those of you still doubting, there is no 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' in sight. Tarzan is written as a truly intelligent,impressive character.

If you are wondering if you need to read the book before seeing the movie: No. In fact, you may enjoy the movie a little bit more if you haven't. The movie seems to bring together pieces from the first 5 books. I loved being able to name the gorillas (except one, that I don't understand the change in character); and seeing the scenes and characters I've so enjoyed brought to life on the screen.

In formato kindle prendete l'opera omnia su Tarzan, con chicche mai tradotte (che io sappia) a partire dalla storia ambientata nella jungla del sud est asiatico dove il nostro eroe, qui colonnello della RAF (sic) mette in salvo dai giapponesi i superstiti dell'equipaggio di un B24 abbattuto e una giovane fanciulla olandese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una visión de la mentalidad de principios de Siglo XX
Reviewed in Spain on September 3, 2016

Todos hemos visto las películas de Tarzan, en sus incontables variantes, pero... cuántos de nosotros hemos leído los libros?? El autor nos presenta una visión bastante romántica, idealizada, racista y clasista de lo que era la sociedad europea a principios del Siglo XX, donde los hombres de las clases altas eran todos perfectos caballeros y las mujeres, coquetas y tímidas damas y los negros una raza inferior deleznable (a ojos del autor). La visión que nos presenta es bastante eugenésica en cuanto a que para él solo pueden sobrevivir aquellos que mejor preparados están para enfrentarse con la vida. Más allá de las propias aventuras del personaje principal, que son bastante entretenidas, no deja de ser un estudio de una sociedad idealizada

This review is of the Kindle yellow-cover edition with a big bird on the cover and the title in a cheesy font.

Unlike many compilation ebooks, I was impressed with this one. (Especially since it's under £1.) Very often, they suffer from appalling formatting and structuring - some have no linked contents or have fixed line length so the text doesn't "pour" correctly into an e-reader screen. This edition does not suffer from either problem.

It's cleanly formatted - amazingly so - and yes, it includes all 25 Tarzan novels, which I bought out of curiosity after seeing the recent movie. (Yes, the first book's very different to most onscreen portrayals!) The full text is there, in the ideal format for an e-reader, and at this price you can't go wrong. Excellent work from the publisher bringing an out-of-copyright series back to life.
