Edgar Rice Burroughs 4 hr 27 min read

When a noted archaeologist vanishes hunting the Lost Tribe of the Wiramwazi Mountains, only one man can penetrate Africa's deepest interior to the rescue, Tarzan of the Apes.

Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1929 novel is a rousing Tarzan lost-world adventure. Vivid, thrilling, gloriously improbable. Read it for classic ERB, the ape-man stumbling upon a hidden remnant of the Roman Empire deep in the jungle, complete with legions, gladiators, and imperial intrigue.
