The Pellucidar Series: Volumes 1 & 2

By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Book Overview

Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 - March 19, 1950) has obtained lasting fame for his works about the jungle hero Tarzan, and also for the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, but he was a voluminous writer who also wrote in many other genres as well. Burroughs famously got started out of disdain for others' writings, noting, "...if people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines, that I could write stories just as rotten. As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines."The Pellucidar Series details the adventures of the hollow earth land of Pellucidar, a theme that is taken for granted in today's science-fiction community but was a novelty back when Burroughs wrote it. The series consisted of the two stories At the Earth's Core and Pellucidar

Customer Reviews

Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions.

Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan! These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it. This volume contains the first 2 and best of the Pellucidar series. Forget about the movie adaptation. The Pellucidar series is one of ERB's 3 top series (after John Carter and Tarzan) and these books will not dissapoint.
