Escribe Richard A.lupoff, en su magnífico Edgar Rice Burrough, que el luxemburgués Hugo Gernsback era un correcto puntilloso, orgulloso y singular editor de ciencia ficción de espíritu prusiano. El americano Burroughs, en cambio, era un hombre rudo, robusto, sereno y grande como un oso. El uno mantenia un gran respeto por el rigo cientifico, mientras que el otro sentia una benevolencia desdeñosa por cualquier cosa que pudiera interponerse en el camino de una animada aventura.

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. 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 . . .

Tarzán de los monos (Tarzan of the Apes) es la primera de una serie de novelas escritas por Edgar Rice Burroughs acerca del personaje ficticio Tarzán. Esta historia fue publicada por primera vez en la revista pulp All Story Magazine en octubre de 1912 y editada como libro por primera vez en 1914. El personaje resulto ser tan popular que Burroughs continuo la serie en la decada de 1940 con dos docenas de secuelas.
