At the Earth's Core - the Original Classic Edition
At the Earth's Core - the Original Classic Edition | EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Having already created two highly memorable science fiction heroes in Tarzan and John Carter, Edgar Rice Burroughs begins his third major series with David Innes. With friend Abner Perry, they dive their mole, or burroughing machine, straight through the earths surface where they discover the savage land of Pellucidar. Here, where dinosaurs still exist and mankind is enslaved by the reptilian Mahars, David and his friend are forced to face unknown perils and survive in a hostile environment (and of course, win the beautiful lady). At the Earths Core is another highly entertaining science fiction novel from Edgar Rice Burroughs. Even though his format is formulaic, youre always assured of fast paced adventure in his novels. The Pellucidar series is a worthy addition to Burroughs body of work. A terrific adventure novel that will immerse you in a world with simple, descriptive language and rollicking action sequences.

Alfonzo215 I've read Edgar Rice Burroughs but never this book. I've read his "Tarzan" books. I live in USA. Can you recommend a good book from India? I just finished reading "Sycamore Row" by John Grisham. He's an attorney/author that writes legal fiction. I think his best novel was his first book "A Time to Kill". Hollywood made a movie from the book. (edited) 7y
Suchethaaahh I have read Tarzan books as well, good time pass. I like the imagination of Mr.Rice. Plenty creativity in the one posted as well. 7y
Suchethaaahh Would recommend "White Tiger" from Aravind Adiga, please share your thoughts on how you liked the book if you get a chance to read it. 7y
Alfonzo215 Great! Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely post an opinion if I read it. 7y

Mehso-so

Ehh. Like much early sci-fi, it is unintentionally hilarious based on our knowledge today. It is also disheartening because the author's imagination doesn't extend to making a society where women actually have autonomy 🙄

tournevis I love Bouroughs. He's amazing and so very reflective of the period. He was such a racist and the casual sexism was quite something, even if he was much less so than a lot of other writers of the time. Barsoom had very strong independant women considering. 7y
rabbitprincess @tournevis I'll have to read Barsoom then! 7y
tournevis @rabbitprincess The Mars books. The first is tagged.
