About This Item

Tarzana: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., 1947. First edition of the last Tarzan story published during Burroughs' lifetime. Octavo, original blue cloth, illustrated with 5 plates by John Coleman Burroughs. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Sheldon Neubauer, with best wishes Edgar Rice Burroughs." Fine in a fine dust jacket. The noble savage Tarzan first appeared in Burroughs' 1912 story Tarzan of the Apes, published in the pulp magazine The All-Story and in book form two years later. An archetypal feral child raised in the African jungle by Mangani great apes, Tarzan spawned innumerable works in literature and film, including 25 sequels and the popular Tarzan movie franchise which lasted from the 1930s to the 1960s. The twenty-second novel in the series, Tarzan and the "Foreign Legion" was the last new work by Burroughs to be published during his life. The book was offered to Argosy magazine, in 1945, for serial publication, as per every Tarzan story previously, but the story was rejected by them and returned. Burroughs published it himself, almost two years later.

Synopsis

Tarzan and the Foreign Legion is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the twenty-second in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. The book, written June-September 1944 while Burroughs was living in Honolulu and published in 1947, was the last new work by Burroughs to be published during his life (Llana of Gathol, the tenth book in the Barsoom series, was published in 1948, but it was a collection of four stories that were originally published in Amazing Stories in 1941).
