{"product_id":"9781486415724","title":"Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar - The Original Classic Edition","description":"I was completely sucked into this book from page one. It has been several years since I read the first four books in this series (tracking down this book proved problematic, to say the least).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter finishing this book I came to the conclusion that this is ERBs version of the classic cursed gold stories of the Norse sagas, (Neibelugileid..if I spelled that right, or the Volsung saga. More modern times, Wagners Ring Cycle, and Lord of the Rings.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes place of the course of one or two weeks, the time line is very very energy charged. Except for the few days where Tarzan has his amnesia and decides to loll about the jungle, no idea that he needs to save Jane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane is pretty impressive in this book, she doesnt let herself be a complete damsel in distress, she makes several escape attempts and is remarkably tough when it comes to finding out that her husband is dead. (So she and many others think).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course she isnt the imperial seductress that La is designed to be. Who is a very interesting character to see in action, she is a spoiled child for the most part, whos only sympathy can be aroused when Tarzan is around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone of the bad guys in this are cartoonish, they all have sympathetic moments and times when ERB gives us insight into their character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI really enjoyed this book, I cant reccomend it highly enough and I really wish it was more widely available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emereo Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169750270192,"sku":"9781486415724","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781486415724_p0.jpg?v=1763634600","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781486415724","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
