Special Edition Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival MaterialsIn 1921, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a novel unlike any other in his entire catalog-a sordid tale of drug addiction, corruption, and murder set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Hollywood. He believed it to be one of his finest works, written as it was from his own experience after he and his family moved to their Tarzana Ranch in Southern California and became exposed to both the allure and perils of nearby Tinseltown. Now, celebrate the hundredth anniversary of this timeless work in this authorized commemorative Centennial Edition, featuring a new foreword by Michael D. Sellers (author of John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood), a specially commissioned frontispiece by renowned artist Douglas Klauba, classic cover art by P. J. Monahan, and rare and never-before-seen bonus materials from the archives of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., in Tarzana, California.Many Edgar Rice Burroughs fans don't realize that the widely available Ace Books paperback edition of The Girl from Hollywood published in the 1970s was significantly abridged, with lengthy passages excised throughout. The Girl from Hollywood Centennial Edition restores the complete text of the novel from the original hardcover first edition.DARK SIDE OF HOLLYWOODShe is known by the stage name Gaza de Lure, an icon of the silver screen-the epitome of success for every aspiring actress who dreams of becoming a star in Hollywood. No longer is she Shannon Burke, the innocent Midwestern girl who moved to California seeking fame and fortune, for in her heart she holds a dark secret...one so dreadful, so shameful, that she can never hope to escape its grasp. When the Penningtons, a wholesome ranching family from the nearby foothills, come into her orbit, will they too be unable to extract themselves from the inexorable web of Hollywood corruption, drug peddling, addiction-and murder?

"Tarzan bei den Affen" ist das erste von 24 Büchern von Edgar Rice Burroughs über die Figur Tarzan. Tarzan trat erstmals in der Geschichte "Tarzan bei den Affen" (engl. "Tarzan of the Apes") auftrat, die in der Oktoberausgabe des Pulp-Magazins "All-Story Magazine" am 27. August 1912 erschien. Die erste Buchausgabe erschien 1914.Tarzan ist der Sohn eines britischen Lords und dessen Frau, die zu Beginn noch schwanger ist. Die beiden werden Opfer einer Meuterei, werden an der afrikanischen Küste ausgesetzt und richten sich dort ein. Sie bauen eine kleine Hütte, in der sie sich sicherer fühlen als im wilden Dschungel. Ihr Sohn erhält den Namen John Clayton III., Lord Greystoke. Die Mutter stirbt, als er ein Jahr alt ist; sein Vater lässt sein Leben im Kampf gegen eine Affenbande. Von da an heißt die Waise "Tarzan" und wird von dieser Gruppe Affen aufgezogen, unter denen sich die Affenfrau Kala besonders um ihn kümmert. Ihren eigenen, zuvor vom Affenhäuptling getöteten Säugling legt sie stattdessen in die Wiege der kleinen Hütte. "Tarzan" bedeutet "Weiße Haut" in der Mangani-Sprache, der von Burroughs erschaffenen Affensprache. Die Affenart wird in den Romanen nicht genannt; es sind weder Gorillas noch Schimpansen, sondern sogenannte "große Anthropoiden". In den nächsten Jahren wächst Tarzan im Vergleich zu den Affenkindern langsam heran, erlangt aber als Kind bereits die Körperkraft eines Leistungssportlers von etwa 30 Jahren.
