Here is a story of an allegiance between man and beast stronger than many a tie between man and man. It is a story of plot and counterplot, of the cunning of civilization pitted against the keen instincts of the jungle, of strange lands and stranger beings; a tale overcast with the mysterious lure of the African Wilderness which appeals to the primeval in every one of us.

Autorenporträt
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. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
