Edgar Rice Burroughs 4 hr 1 min read

A catastrophe hurls Nu, a fierce caveman of the dawn age, into the modern African jungle, and into the path of the American girl he loved a hundred thousand years ago.

Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1925 novel (also known as The Eternal Lover) is a rousing lost-world adventure-romance. Vivid, thrilling, imaginative. Read it for classic Burroughs, a Stone Age hero flung across time, a love that spans the ages, and a Tarzan-adjacent tale of primitive passion and prehistoric peril from the master of the genre.
