Good review of the writing and publishing history of the great ERB. If you are a fan of Burroughs this is full of interesting information. ( ) An unparalleled summary of the works of [author:Edgar Rice Burroughs] that has no equivalent for any other genre author. Lupoff's commentaries are not only complete and well-written, but offer fascinating insights into ERB's mind and career. When paired with Irwin Porges' excellent ERB bio, the pair creates the most complete overview of ERB's life to date. Loads of fun to read this 40 year old biography/history/bibliography of ERB and get tons of other old and nigh-forgotten books of many authors to read. This is a good read for any fan of the pulps, as you'll get a walk-through of the pulps from one writer's output and what contemporaries compare (or contrast) to Burroughs' stuff. A well-put-together collection of critiques of Edgar Rice Burroughs' voluminous output of science-fiction, fantasy and adventure books, with a little bit of biography thrown in. Tarzan was my first literary hero, and I always thought that Burroughs would have been ignored by the world if not for his creation of that remarkable figure. It's kind of nice to find myself wrong, that Burroughs created at least two other fine adventure series (the Martian series, and the Pellucidar series). Also nice to find that the author reflects my own private view of the Tarzan books, that the character and the first few books are amazing, but that Burroughs became repetitive as he continued to grind out the books. I still like them, though. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

These pages contain all that you will ever want to know about the wondrous worlds and unforgettable characters penned by the master storyteller Edgar Rice Burroughs. nbsp; Richard A. Lupoff, the respected critic and writer who helped spark a Burroughs revival in the 1960s, reveals fascinating details about the stories written by the creator of Tarzan.
