Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the most influential adventure writers of the twentieth century. His two most famous creations, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, both debuted in 1912 and spawned long-running series that have been adapted into films, comics, and television countless times.
The Tarzan series alone runs to over thirty novels, following the English nobleman raised by apes through adventures in Africa and beyond. The John Carter series takes readers to Barsoom (Mars), where a Civil War veteran becomes a warrior among alien civilizations. Burroughs also created the hollow-earth Pellucidar series, the lost world Caspak trilogy, and the Venus series, each building a distinct world of adventure.
Beyond his famous series, Burroughs wrote westerns, historical adventures, and standalone novels. His prolific output and vivid imagination helped define the pulp adventure genre and influenced generations of science fiction and fantasy writers.
