Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American writer born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago, Illinois. He is best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan, the jungle hero who has captured the imaginations of readers for over a century. Burroughs had a varied career, initially working in several fields including a stint in the military and even as a pencil sharpener salesman, before turning his attention to writing. His adventurous spirit and fascination with the exotic led him to craft stories that whisked readers away to distant worlds, from the jungles of Africa to the mysterious planet of Mars.
Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs published over 70 novels, many of which became instant classics, blending adventure, science fiction, and romance in ways that were innovative for his time. His works have inspired countless adaptations in film, television, and comics, ensuring his legacy endures.
