The tenth volume of Leonaur's collected Tarzan stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs takes the willing reader on 'Tarzan's Quest'-the nineteenth adventure of the legendary Lord of the Jungle. Tarzan must travel to discover a strange tribe of white savages hidden in the interior. Their discovery is now made the more vital because they have kidnapped the daughter of his friend. How could he know that he would also be called upon to rescue the passengers of a crashed aircraft-among them his own beloved Jane? The twentieth Tarzan adventure takes the famous Apeman on the journey to the hidden city of Ashair with its hideous rites of torture and sacrifice and its gigantic diamonds. Once again there are hapless victims to rescue and villains to deal with as we join our hero in 'Tarzan and the Forbidden City'. The complete Tarzan series is available, with two tales per volume, in hardcover or softcover, with complementing covers, to make the perfect collection for your library.

エドガー・ライス・バローズが描くターザンは、文明の虚飾を剥ぎ取った人間が持つ、原初的な高貴さを体現しています。本作の真髄は、密林を単なる背景ではなく、一つの生きた宇宙として描く力強い筆致にあります。読者は文字を通じて、五感を震わせる野生の息吹と、死生観すら超越した生命力の輝きを熱く追体験することになるでしょう。 映像化作品では活劇としての側面が強調されますが、原作には知性と本能の間で揺れるターザンの複雑な精神性と、緻密な異世界構築の妙があります。映像の躍動感と小説の内省的な深みを重ね合わせることで、伝説的英雄の真の輪郭が鮮明に浮かび上がります。文字でしか味わえない重層的な冒険の興奮に、今こそ身を投じてください。
