A lost aviatrix, a professor, a gangster, and the golden-haired
goddess of the Midianites are brought together in the heart of the
Dark Continent to create an explosive situation. Once again, only
the incomparable figure of the Lord of the Jungle can surmount the
mountains and mysteries that stood between these four and disaster.
Every adventure reader will thrill as Tarzan walks where the slightest
sound could bring sudden death, fights where any weakness could mean
destruction, and roars his defiant challenge to a hostile and savage
world.
TARZAN TRIUMPHANT is a triumph of jungle adventure among savage beasts
and savage men.

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS is renowned for his many novels of fantastic
adventure. Unquestionably his best known creation is that of the jungle
hero, Tarzan the Ape Man, but almost as well known are his stories of
other planets and of Pellucidar beneath the Earth's crust.
Born in Chicago in 1875, he tried his hand at many businesses without
notable success, until at the age of thirty-five, he turned to writing.
With the publication of _Tarzan of the Apes_ and _A Princess of Mars_,
his career was assured. The gratitude of a multitude of readers who
found in his imagination exactly the kind of escape reading they loved
assured him of a well-earned fortune.
By the time of his death, in 1950, at his home in a town bearing the
name of his brain child, Tarzana, California, his name was a byword in
literature. Over 40,000,000 copies of his books have appeared in 58
different languages.
