Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950)
Autore di Tarzan delle scimmie
Sull'Autore
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago. His father, George Tyler was a distiller and a battery manufacturer. Early in life Burroughs attempted to support his family in a variety of occupations, including railroad policeman, business partner, and miner. None of these proved mostra altro successful. However, Burroughs had always enjoyed reading adventure fiction and decided to try his hand at writing. His first attempt, written under the pseudonym Normal Bean, sold very quickly and Burroughs' career took off. Although critics and educators have not always been supportive of Burroughs' writing, the characters in his stories have entertained readers for many years. Tarzan was the most popular, earning Burroughs enough money to start his own publishing house and a motion picture company. Another character, John Carter, is the hero of Burroughs' Mars adventure series. The continuing popularity of these characters has led some critics to reconsider the value of Burroughs' writing and to acknowledge significant themes in his stories. Burroughs died on March 19, 1950. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

Recensione del 2 dicembre 2009
La storia di Tarzan rimane affascinante. Sono belli i film, è bello il cartone, è bello il fumetto. Peccato mortale il mio, non ho mail letto il libro di Burroughs. Sono un italiota, anche mi. Mica per caso. Il fumetto, parliamo di lui. Gli albi comprati in edicola, a cicli, non mi hanno mai convinto. Ma ora, finalmente, ne ho compreso la ragione. La storia di base è straordinaria anche nella proposta a fumetti di Foster, Hogart e Manning. Il bambino abbandonato nella giungla e cresciuto da una femmina di gorilla, l’amore con la figlia di un esploratore, gli ingredienti sono straordinari ed anche con il fumetto si sogna e si sogna alto. Nella seconda parte c’è il Tarzan tipico degli albetti, storie scollegate dal libro ed allora è necessario conoscere, sapere di cosa si parla, entrare nel merito delle storie della giungla. Rimane appassionante, ma occorre, come detto, un approccio del tutto diverso. Comunque, molto bello.… (altro)
