Tarzan : apornas son

Nyöversättning

Den unge lord Greystoke och hans unga hustru, lady Alice, är på väg mot Västafrika i den lilla barketinen Fuwalda. De kommer dock aldrig fram till sin destination. Besättningen på Fuwalda begår myteri och dödar kaptenen och alla officerare ombord. Myteristerna skonar lord Greystoke och lady Alice, men för ett öde värre än döden. Paret sätts iland på en öde kust, vid randen av en livsfarlig djungel, full av vilda djur. Här bygger de en stuga. Lady Alice föder deras barn, men därpå dör paret Greystoke. Barnet tas av en slump om hand av Kala, en människoapa, och växer upp i det vilda. Barnet får namnet Tarzan. Detta är hans historia.

Romanen Tarzan, apornas son (1912) av Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) gjorde omedelbar sensation när den kom. Publiken fick inte nog av den fascinerande historien om Tarzan, med en fot i en vild natur och den andra i en ordnad civilisation, och hans äventyr. Den första romanen, som här ges ut i nyöversättning, är en tidlös berättelse om att hitta sin identitet, om djungelns våld och onda, bråda död, samt sagan om en till synes omöjlig kärlek mellan Tarzan, apornas son, och den amerikanska unga kvinnan Jane Porter.

I ny svensk översättning av Daniel Martinez.

Five hundred miles beneath the earth's surface lies a fantastic, timeless world of eternal daylight, prehistoric beasts, and primeval peoples—Pellucidar. Pellucidar is a world within our world, a place where the horizon curves upward and merges with the sky. Here time stands still, for Pellucidar is illuminated by a miniature sun that never sets but hovers motionless in the sky. Scattered throughout the savage, prehistoric wilderness are communities of distrustful humans and the cities of the reptilian, highly evolved Mahars. David Innes and Abner Perry break through into this mysterious inner world. Their discovery of Pellucidar and the ensuing struggle to unite the human communities and overthrow the Mahars is a top-notch, thrilling tale of conquest, deceit, and wonder. This commemorative edition features an introduction by Gregory A. Benford and an afterword on the science of At the Earth's Core by Phillip R. Burger. Also included are a map of Pellucidar, a glossary of terms and names by Scott Tracy Griffin, a contemporary review, and the classic J. Allen St. John illustrations.

Året är 2137 och världen har i två sekler varit delad av en ogenomtränglig mur av tystnad: ingen har korsat den 30:e längdgraden och återvänt för att berätta om det.

Jefferson Turck, en ung och ambitiös marinofficer i den Panamerikanska federationen, lever i en tid av absolut fred och teknisk perfektion. Men när hans flygubåt drabbas av ett katastrofalt maskinfel mitt under en storm, drivs han obevekligen österut – förbi den förbjudna linjen och in i det okända. På andra sidan väntar inte den avancerade civilisation som historieböckerna antytt, utan ett Europa som fallit tillbaka i total vildmark. Där London en gång tronade regerar nu lejon, och de få människor som finns kvar lever som vildar i ruinerna av en svunnen storhetstid.

I denna spänningsfyllda nyöversättning, anpassad för dagens läsare med ett modernt och medryckande språk, kastas vi in i ett episkt äventyr genom ett ödsligt men fascinerande landskap. Turck tvingas kämpa för sin överlevnad mot både naturens rovdjur och mänsklig brutalitet, samtidigt som han möter Victory – en kvinna som bär på arvet från en glömd kungasläkt. Tillsammans påbörjar de en farofylld resa för att låsa upp hemligheterna bakom kontinentens fall.

Edgar Rice Burroughs klassiska vision av en postapokalyptisk framtid får här nytt liv genom en språklig uppdatering som gör berättelsen mer tillgänglig än någonsin. Det är en tidlös skildring av upptäckarglädje, mod och kulturernas sammanstötning i en värld där kartans vita fläckar återigen har blivit livsfarliga.

One of the most popular and influential science fiction tales of all time, The Land That Time Forgot was first published in book form in 1924. Set on the lost island of Caspak in the South Pacific, this novel is a dazzling blend of imagination, daring adventure, and intriguing scientific speculation. Hidden behind towering, impassable cliffs, Caspak will not easily give up its secrets. Unique and terrible animals and peoples inhabit the island. Dinosaurs terrorize tropical jungles to the south, while menacing winged humanoids dwell in cities on a large island in the north. Caught between these threats are scattered groups of human beings. Despite their differences, however, Caspak’s animals and peoples are all connected in a mysterious and marvelous way. This commemorative edition features the entire Caspak trilogy in one volume, as intended by the author. In his introduction, Mike Resnick celebrates Edgar Rice Burroughs and the timeless appeal of this story. Also included are Scott Tracy Griffin’s glossary of terms from the Caspakian language, a rare map of Caspak drawn by Burroughs, and the classic J. Allen St. John illustrations.

Tarzan first came swinging through the jungle in the pages of a pulp-fiction magazine in 1912, and subsequently in the novel that went on to spawn numerous film and other adaptations. In its pages we find Tarzan's origins: how he is orphaned after his parents are marooned and killed on the coast of West Africa, and is adopted by an ape-mother. He grows up to become a model of physical strength and natural prowess, and eventually leader of his tribe. When he encounters a group of white Europeans, and rescues Jane Porter from a marauding ape, he finds love, and must choose between the values of the jungle and civilization.The Tarzan of popular imagination bears only limited resemblance to Edgar Rice Burroughs's creation, and the complex backdrop of colonial appropriation, literary heritage, and nostalgic yearning from which he emerged. This new edition considers these contexts, as well as the enduring appeal of the King of the Apes.

Virginia gentleman John Carter, unexpectedly transported to the perilous red planet, Mars, finds himself captured by the loveless Green Men of Thark. As Carter struggles to win his freedom—and the affections of fellow captive Dejah Thoris, princess of the rival clan of Helium—the fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance: warring Martian tribes collide and the beleaguered Atmosphere Factory grinds to a suffocating halt. Ray Bradbury, reminiscing on the enduring thrill of Burroughs’s Martian adventure, writes, “I stood on the lawns of summer, raised my hands, and cried for Mars, like John Carter, to take me home. I flew to the Red Planet and never returned.”

Deep in the savage African jungle, the baby Tarzan was raised by a fierce she-ape of the tribe of Kerchak. There he had to learn the secrets of the wild to survive - how to talk with animals, swing through the trees, and fight against the great predators. He grew to the strength and courage of his fellow apes. And in time, his human intelligence promised him the kingship of the tribe. He became truly Lord of the Jungle. Then men entered his jungle, bringing with them the wanton savagery of civilised greed and lust - and bringing also the first white woman Tarzan had ever seen. Now suddenly, Tarzan had to choose between two worlds. (First published 1912)

Tarzan had renounced his right to the woman he loved, and civilisation held no pleasure for him. After a brief and harrowing period among men, he turned back to the African jungle where he had grown to manhood. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, left over from fabled Atlantis. It was a city of hideous men - and of beautiful, savage women, over whom reigned La, high priestess of the Flaming God. Its altars were stained with the blood of many sacrifices. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan led a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar.

For now Tarzan was returning, and they were waiting for him. Tarzan planned to avoid La and the priests.

The young Tarzan was unlike the great apes who were his only companions and playmates. Theirs was a simple, savage life, filled with little but killing or being killed. But Tarzan had all of a normal boy''s desire to learn. He had painfully taught himself to read from books left by his dead father. Now he sought to apply this book knowledge to the world around him. He sought for such things as the source of dreams and the whereabouts of God. And he searched for the love and affection that every human being needs. But he was alone in his struggles to grow and understand. The life of the jungle had no room for abstractions.
