About this audiobook
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.

Reviews for The Son of Tarzan

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another OK sequel. Jack (Korak), son of Tarzan, proves himself in the wilds of Africa just like his father.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good yarn if you can ignore some of the casual racism in the book. Thankfully that is not prevalent throughout the book and is, unfortunately, representative of the times. The book was somewhat slow to start for me and dragged out a bit longer than necessary, but when the action was on, it was on and fun. Prepare to suspend disbelief and just go along for the ride.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was surprised how little I remembered of this book. The book is as much about Meriem as it is about Tarzan's son, They spend quite a bit of time separated.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While this fourth in the series was full of adventure, much of it felt recycled from adventures Tarzan had himself. And while I know it is all fantasy, I somehow had an easier time believing Tarzan as a superhero but his son, not so much. Somehow the fact that Tarzan had been raised by apes gave some cause for his super powers but I couldn't buy a proper English school boy somehow acquiring all those abilities simply because he landed on African shores.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favorite so far. Can't wait to read the next in the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's not clear what is so appealing about Burroughs' writing. He uses the same stock phrases over and over and they sound equally good each time. There are so many characters meeting up in the "trackless jungle" that it might as well be a central station on the London Underground. Troublesome characters conveniently succumb to their injuries. A simple shave is an impenetrable disguise. In the end the characters all return happily to London, even though they obviously belong in the jungle. The racism is strange...involving some complicated classifications. White men are always superior, even when wicked. Every single man she meets becomes immediately consumed with the desire to "possess" Merriam. Everybody important lives happily ever after until the next book.The fantasy of a man so superhuman that he can be a flawless English gentleman and also Lord of the Jungle is the wildest superhero fantasy ever imagined.The cover illustration is powerful and evocative.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5England og Afrika, ca 1830Tarzan og Jane lever som Lord og Lady Greystoke i England. Deres søn, Jack, er intelligent og stærk som sin far og stærkt mod Lady Jane's vilje er han meget interesseret i Afrika og dyr. For 10 år siden søgte et par russere Paulvitch og Rokoff at slå Tarzan ihjel, men det mislykkedes og de sidste 10 år har Paulvitch fristet en kummerlig tilværelse. Han dukker op i London ifølge med aben Ajax, som Tarzan kender som Akut. Paulvitch undfanger en plan om at få både hævn og penge ud af Lord Greystoke og tilskynder Jack til at blive gode venner med Akut.???
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This edition, published by 1stWorld, is full of grammar and spelling and usage errors, which sometimes mangle the storyline.That said, this was a great romp in the jungle with Tarzan's son, starting and ending in England, but full of wild adventures with heroes and villains worthy of the challenge.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this may be the most interesting burroughs' tarzan story, since it only involves tarzan as a strong and civilized englishman. his son, however, voluntarily leaves for africa to be with his love who he rescues from an evil sheik. Burroughs obviously did not blacks or browns a whole lot. For him and his readers, racism isn't an issue. One is white or one is black (brown, red, or otherwise). White is good. Anything else bad. Kinda like Tarzan, eh?
