Story
A great safari comes to Africa to make a movie, struggling across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it is halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There is no way to return. Ahead lies the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas live in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. And behind them comes Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks—though hardly in courage!

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

In a meteoric career that spanned a mere 12 years, Robert E. Howard single-handedly invented the genre that came to be called sword and sorcery. From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction's most enduring heroes. Yet while Conan the Cimmerian is indisputably Howard's greatest creation, it was in his earlier sequence of tales featuring Kull, a fearless warrior with the brooding intellect of a philosopher, that Howard began to develop the distinctive themes and the richly evocative blend of history and mythology .

Sixty-five million years ago, a disastrous cataclysm eliminated three quarters of all life on Earth. Overnight, the age of dinosaurs ended. The age of mammals had begun. But what if history had happened differently? What if the reptiles had survived to evolve into intelligent life? In West of Eden, best-selling author Harry Harrison has created a rich, dramatic saga of a world where the descendants of the dinosaurs struggled with a clan of humans in a battle for survival.

Story
In 1898, the British were building a railway line between Mombasa in Kenya and Uganda. At the Tsavo River in Kenya where a bridge needed to be built, the project was suddenly interrupted by two man-eating lions that targeted the camps of the workers. Over a period of nine months, the lions killed scores of people. These lions were deliberately hunting people, preferring humans over any other prey, and they seemed to have supernatural abilities in evading all attempts to stop them. Colonel J.H. Patterson, the chief engineer in charge of the project, finally managed to eliminate them.

In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind.

Story
Ingersoll Lockwood invented the fictional character Baron Trump in 1890 for a two-part sci-fi/fantasy series about a privileged German heir who undertakes a sequence of fantastic voyages. The style of the Baron Trump series - a mix of fantasy and young-reader-oriented science fiction - anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum's Oz series. The Travel and Adventures of Little Baron Trump describes Baron's trip around the world with his little dog, meeting new races like the Wind Eaters, Man Hoppers, and Melodious Sneezers.

Story
"Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him." This line was written by Ambrose Bierce in his short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. Death by execution has historically been ritualized, perhaps to absolve those accomplishing the execution from guilt or blame.

Great Story!
Would you consider the audio edition of Tarzan of the Apes to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, but the audio performance definitely kept me glued to my seat. It was certainly better than the movies!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Of course, Tarzan is my favorite character. He reminds me of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus in his nobility, integrity, earnest and uncalculating honesty. His only lie is a whopper, and totally unexpected -- this is definitely NOT the movie, thank goodness!
What does David Ian Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Mr. Davies's performance is first-rate. His characters are all individuals with their own peculiarities, accents, styles and manners of speech. I was enthralled throughout the telling, and even cried out involuntarily at the end!
If you could take any character from Tarzan of the Apes out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Tarzan, of course! The dinner would have to be at a very good steakhouse, for only in such a place could Tarzan get his meat rarer than mine!
Any additional comments?
As you see, I have nothing but exclamation points to punctuate my sentences. Tarzan of the Apes is an exclamation of humanity in the face of primeval jungle ferocity and ruthlessness -- it was pure joy to, for a while at least, be a part of such a great story!

Wow a true classic
There is a reason that Tarzan has become part of our culture from comic books to novels to movies. Having grown up watching Tarzan movies, I found myself curious as to its origins. Being out of premium listener program credits and just about fed up with the dry 9/11 report. I went looking for an under $10.00 value. Lo and behold I stumbled on Tarzan of the Apes.
I truly enjoyed and could not put down this classic tale. From his origins which where much more plausible than any others I have seen before, through his modernization to what we call civilized, I was at the edge of my seat. I think this is a phenomenal value and highly recommend this book. I wish it was longer since I could not get enough.

Not Hollywood's version...
I enjoyed this story until the end. The end seemed to me like he was running out of paper and had to finish things off. I actually groaned at the end (though I did make it to the end) because it was just such a bummer of an ending. Skip it and see the movie. I actually think that Hollywood did it better on film (for once).

Excellent book but...
I really enjoyed this book. It was inexpensive so I thought I'd give it a go and was pleasantly surprised. The book is very different than all of the movies that have come out over the years. It is so well written and plausible that I was deeply drawn into it. The narrator was equally good, with different vioces for each character. The only problem I had was the end of the story. It made me go "What? You've got to be kidding me!" I was annoyed. I realize that this is the first in a series, but come on. It did make me want to immediatly get the next audiobook, however it is not as inexpensive and I've decided to wait. For the price, it was well worth it.

It was fun.
If you could sum up Tarzan of the Apes in three words, what would they be?
bygone age adventure
What did you like best about this story?
it moves quickly
What does David Ian Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He brings a depth and bridge of personal closeness between an older text to a younger listener. He makes this probably more fun than it might be just to read.
Any additional comments?
I would listen to additional Burroughs books if the same narrator was providing the reading.

While the audio could have been better, the book was very good. It tells a fun, fantastic story, and allows us to think about the true meaning of civility and character.

More than I had expected...
Being the bargain shopper that I am, I was first attracted to this title by its cost per minute ratio.
What a surprise I was in for. The story was very fascinating and really shades a different light on Tarzan. After 8 hours of listening, I was not ready for the story to end.
The narrative may seem a bit dry and outdated at first, but the story really makes up for it!

A great story, and a great audiobook
I was amazed at the quality of the writing, the story, and the narration. As pulp fiction, I was expecting a lot of cliches or gaudy situations, but was pleasantly surprised. The only unusual aspect of this book (and not the audiobook), is the ending. I searched for an actual copy of Tarzan to confirm that that was the real ending.
For those with small children, you should reconsider listening to this audiobook in the car with them as there is violence and an unrealistic portrayal of gorillas. Older children will enjoy it.

The story is excellent as always. The narration is a bit sketchy but in some respects it adds a bit of authenticity.
