Burroughs had a remarkable imagination and an innate storytelling ability that propelled him to become one of the most successful authors of his time. While his early career was marked by various jobs, including stints as a pencil sharpener salesman and a ranch hand, it was his foray into writing that would truly define his legacy. Burroughs gained widespread acclaim and recognition for his creation of the iconic character Tarzan, a feral child raised by apes in the African jungle. The Tarzan series, which began with Tarzan of the Apes in 1912, captivated readers with its blend of adventure, romance, and exploration of the human psyche. With each subsequent Tarzan novel, Burroughs expanded upon the mythos of his beloved protagonist, weaving tales of heroism, danger, and encounters with fantastical creatures. Beyond the Tarzan series, Burroughs wrote numerous other novels and series, spanning genres such as science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. His works showcased his boundless creativity and the ability to transport readers to imaginative worlds. Burroughs' vivid descriptions and fast-paced narratives made his books immensely popular, captivating readers of all ages. Edgar Rice Burroughs passed away on March 19, 1950, but his literary contributions continue to endure. His stories have been adapted into numerous films, TV shows, and comic books, solidifying Tarzan as a cultural icon. Burroughs' legacy as a master storyteller and pioneer of adventure fiction remains an inspiration to aspiring authors and a source of joy for readers seeking thrilling escapades in unexplored realms.

Download or read book Houdini Tarzan and the Perfect Man written by John F. Kasson and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2002-07-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable new work from one of our premier historians In his exciting new book, John F. Kasson examines the signs of crisis in American life a century ago, signs that new forces of modernity were affecting men's sense of who and what they really were. When the Prussian-born Eugene Sandow, an international vaudeville star and bodybuilder, toured the United States in the 1890s, Florenz Ziegfeld cannily presented him as the "Perfect Man," representing both an ancient ideal of manhood and a modern commodity extolling self-development and self-fulfillment. Then, when Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan swung down a vine into the public eye in 1912, the fantasy of a perfect white Anglo-Saxon male was taken further, escaping the confines of civilization but reasserting its values, beating his chest and bellowing his triumph to the world. With Harry Houdini, the dream of escape was literally embodied in spectacular performances in which he triumphed over every kind of threat to masculine integrity -- bondage, imprisonment, insanity, and death. Kasson's liberally illustrated and persuasively argued study analyzes the themes linking these figures and places them in their rich historical and cultural context. Concern with the white male body -- with exhibiting it and with the perils to it --reached a climax in World War I, he suggests, and continues with us today.

Book excerpt: I have it on the best of authority that neither the police nor the special agents of the general staff have the faintest conception of how it was accomplished. All they know, all that anyone knows, is that Nikolas Rokoff has escaped." John Clayton, Lord Greystoke—he who had been "Tarzan of the Apes"—sat in silence in the apartments of his friend, Lieutenant Paul D'Arnot, in Paris, gazing meditatively at the toe of his immaculate boot. His mind revolved many memories, recalled by the escape of his arch-enemy from the French military prison to which he had been sentenced for life upon the testimony of the ape-man. He thought of the lengths to which Rokoff had once gone to compass his death, and he realized that what the man had already done would doubtless be as nothing by comparison with what he would wish and plot to do now that he was again free. Tarzan had recently brought his wife and infant son to London to escape the discomforts and dangers of the rainy season upon their vast estate in Uziri—the land of the savage Waziri warriors whose broad African domains the ape-man had once ruled. He had run across the Channel for a brief visit with his old friend, but the news of the Russian's escape had already cast a shadow upon his outing, so that though he had but just arrived he was already contemplating an immediate return to London....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an account of murder and politics in Africa, and an historical ethnography of southern Annang communities during the colonial period. Its narrative leads to events between 1945 and 1948 when the imperial gaze of police, press and politicians was focused on a series of mysterious deaths in south-eastern Nigeria attributed to the 'man-leopard society'. These murder mysteries, reported as the 'biggest, strangest murder hunt in the world', were not just forensic but also related to the broad historical impact of commercial, Christian and colonial aid relations on Annang society.
