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.

バロウズが描くターザンは、文明と野性の狭間で揺れ動く高潔な魂の象徴です。本作では未知の部族との遭遇を通じ、人間の欲望や残酷さが浮き彫りにされます。流麗な文体による緻密な心理描写と、ページを捲る手が止まらない圧倒的な推進力こそが、長年読者を熱狂させてきた本質的な魅力です。 映像版がアクションを強調する一方、原作にはターザンの孤独や自然への畏敬という「内面的な深み」が刻まれています。映画の景観を脳内に補完しつつ、文字から立ち上がる生々しい熱量や哲学的な問いを味わうことで、物語の解像度は劇的に高まるはずです。言葉でしか到達できない官能的な冒険を、ぜひ体感してください。
