6W Edgar Rice Burroughs. London: Methuen & Co., 1920

Notes

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is the fifth novel in Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan series, continuing the adventures of the ape-man in a tale of lost civilizations, treasure, and identity. The story centers on Tarzan’s journey to the ancient city of Opar, where vast riches are guarded by a decadent priesthood, while Jane faces danger after losing her memory and being mistaken for a goddess. Themes of primal strength versus civilization, loyalty, and moral corruption run throughout the novel. The book was first published in 1918 by A. C. McClurg & Co. in the United States, following its earlier serialization in Blue Book Magazine, and its first printing helped solidify Tarzan’s popularity as one of the most enduring adventure heroes of early 20th-century literature.
