Synopsis

The Return Of Tarzan, by Edgar Rice Burroughs - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - The second novel in the Tarzan series opens with the aristocratic ape man aboard an ocean liner en route from New York to Europe, on which he has encounters with Russian spies, French counts, and beautiful women. He had decided not to claim his title and estates from his cousin. He is thrown overboard the cruise liner, ending up back in his native African jungle. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, remnant of the fabled Atlantis and he now sets off to search for it. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan leads a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar, reigned over by La, high priestess of the Flaming God. All the while not knowing that his almost-fi ancée Jane is suffering the harsh effects of stranded life in the merciless jungle only miles away. "Crowded with impossibilities as the tale is, Mr. Burroughs has told it so well, and has so succeeded in carrying his readers with him, that there are few who will not look forward eagerly to the promised sequel". --New York Times review, May 1915

From the Inside Flap:

Tarzan had renounced his right to the woman he loved, and civilization held no pleasure for him. After a brief and harrowing period among men, he turned back to the African jungle where he had grown to manhood. It was there he first heard of Opar, the city of gold, left over from fabled Atlantis.
It was a city of hideous men -- and of beautiful, savage women, over whom reigned La, high priestess of the Flaming God. Its altars were stained with the blood of many sacrifices. Unheeding of the dangers, Tarzan led a band of savage warriors toward the ancient crypts and the more ancient evil of Opar . . .
