Born in Chicago in 1875, Edgar Rice Burroughs became one of the most widely read American storytellers of the early twentieth century. He is best known for creating Tarzan and for his Barsoom novels featuring John Carter, stories that mixed fast-moving adventure with fantasy and science fiction.
His breakthrough came when Tarzan of the Apes first appeared in 1912, launching a long-running series and a character who became famous far beyond books through film, radio, comics, and other adaptations. Burroughs also wrote the Pellucidar and Venus novels, building entire imaginative worlds that kept readers coming back.
What still makes his work appealing is its energy: bold quests, exotic settings, cliffhanger plotting, and a sense of wonder that influenced generations of adventure, fantasy, and science-fiction writers. He died in 1950, but his characters remain part of popular culture.
