About this ebook
Edgar Rice Burroughs'Äô "Beyond Thirty" is a thought-provoking foray into a post-apocalyptic future, woven with a compelling narrative and rich, imaginative world-building. Set in the 22nd century, the novel explores themes of civilization's dichotomies, human resilience, and cultural determinism, as the protagonist, Lieutenant Colonel Dan el Elysse, navigates through a world where Europe has become a barbaric wasteland while America remains a bastion of self-imposed isolation. Burroughs employs a vivid, action-oriented prose complemented by a keen eye for societal critique, embodying elements typical of early science fiction as well as the romance genre, which places his work firmly in the literary context of his time, both reflecting and challenging contemporary societal norms. Edgar Rice Burroughs, the prolific American writer best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of the early 20th century. His experiences as a soldier and his fascination with adventure often translate into works that question imperialism and explore the possibilities of human evolution. His varied life journeys undoubtedly fueled his creative imagination, allowing him to craft intricate narratives that stretch beyond conventional boundaries. "Beyond Thirty" is a must-read for enthusiasts of speculative fiction and those intrigued by the crossroads of civilization and barbarism. The novel will not only captivate you with its thrilling exploits but also provoke contemplation about cultural values and the stability of modern societies. Burroughs'Äô masterful storytelling invites readers of all backgrounds to ponder the implications of isolation and humanity'Äôs innate drive for exploration.
