Edgar Rice Burroughs

Tarzan and the Leopard Men Edgar Rice Burroughs

After a violent tropical storm, Orando of the Utengi comes upon a strange bronze giant pinned under a fallen tree. Orando calls the creature Muzimo for it cannot remember its own name and therefore is most probably a godÑa god who will protect Orando from the steel-taloned Leopard Men. Little does Orando know that his protector is Tarzan of the ApesÑfor the Lord of the Jungle has suffered an injury and does not know himself who he is! When the Tarzan series appeared in paperback form from Ballantine Books in the 1960Õs, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. decided to ÒtoneÓ down ethnic content. So, most of the books in the series were censored. These censored texts are the ones which Gutenberg.org (an Internet Public Domain story site) picked up and which most reprinters of the stories are using. ERBville Press always goes back to the original sources of the text, whether magazine, First Edition book, or newspaper, for their reprinting.
