Mr Edgar Rice Burroughs : At The Earth's Core before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised At The Earth's Core:

Abraham SargentThe story is solid and Burroughs helps to push another sub-genre of adventure fiction to the forefront, just like he did with jungle stories and Tarzan, or sword and planet stories like John Carter. But this copy of the book is not high quality. There's no title on the spine (or anything else), the printing is poorly done, the cover art looks awful in hand, like it was photocopied from another source, and the book has all of the quality of a Kinko's printout, rather than a professional quality book. But a different printing of this fun book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Burroughs is a master story teller.By CustomerI enjoyed reading this as much at 53 years old as I did at 17. Burroughs is a master story teller who always leaves you wanting more. Good old fashioned sci-fi, or is it?2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Journey Into A World Without Time and Where Reptiles Are the Dominant SpeciesBy Dave Wildeldquo;At The Earthrsquo;s Core,rdquo; first published in 1914, is one of Edgar Rice Burroughrsquo;s most imaginative works. It is the first of seven books in the Pellucidar series and imagines a world inside the earth (five hundred miles beneath the surface) where the most advanced species is reptilian and the humans are still living in the stone age. As ludicrous as it sounds now, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, there were many who believed in the possibility of a hollow earth world with entrances at the poles. Scientists proposed the idea of an inner world to explain anomalous compass readings and such things as the aurora borealis. Such inner worlds were theorized to have atmospheres and be possibly inhabited.Although Burroughs was not the first to contemplate such an inner world, there are none who have perhaps created it so magnificently. In ldquo;At the Earthrsquo;s Core,rdquo; David Innes and Perry Abner travel in a mighty metal prospector into the earthrsquo;s crust and break through into a world they never imagined with an eternal noon-day sun hanging in the heavens. Alongside the dinosaurs and cave people, one of the most interesting ideas explored by Burroughs in these books is the idea that time is manrsquo;s creation and, without the sun rising and setting, one loses track of time. Thus, one could go off and have incredible adventures and think weeks or even months have gone by while another who sits reading a book could think not much time has elapsed. It is an incredible idea because, without our guideposts of the sunrise and sunset and without clocks and technology, how do we really know how much time has gone by.On the surface, some might compare the world of Pellucidar to Burroughsrsquo; worlds of Barsoom and Venus (although he wrote the Venus series decades later). After all, Innes, like John Carter, is nearly alone (except for Perry) in a savage world where he first offends, then romances a savage princess. And, like Carter, who overthrows the existing order in ldquo;The Gods of Mars,rdquo; Innes takes on the dreaded Mahars. However, here, the concepts are quite different. The reptiles are the smarter, more advanced species and they are not a human-like reptile species. Moreover, this is a more dangerous, savage world, peopled by primitive tribes and filled with dinosaurs and all manner of strange beasts that have developed quite differently from the evolution of the outer world.Burroughsrsquo; writing in this novel is absolutely terrific and his descriptions of the prospector and the journey into the center of the earth, absolutely fascinating. This was written over one hundred years ago and is still one of the greatest adventure stories ever written. Five stars!

At the Earth's Core is a 1914 fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first in his series about the fictional "hollow earth" land of Pellucidar. The author relates how, traveling in the Sahara desert, he has encountered a remarkable vehicle and its pilot, David Innes, a man with a remarkable story to tell. David Innes is a mining heir who finances the experimental "iron mole," an excavating vehicle designed by his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry. In a test run, they discover the vehicle cannot be turned, and it burrows 500 miles into the Earth's crust, emerging into the unknown interior world of Pellucidar. In Burroughs' concept, the Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell. Pellucidar is inhabited by prehistoric creatures of all geological eras, and dominated by the Mahars, a species of flying reptile both intelligent and civilized, but which enslaves and preys on the local stone-age humans. Innes and Perry are captured by the Mahars' ape-like Sagoth servants and taken with other human captives to the chief Mahar city of Phutra. Among their fellow captives are the brave Ghak, the Hairy One, from the country of Sari, the shifty Hooja the Sly One and the lovely Dian the Beautiful of Amoz. Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 ndash; March 19, 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Aiming his work at the pulps, Burroughs had his rst story, Under the Moons of Mars, serialized by Frank Munsey in the February to July 1912 issues of The All- Story ndash; under the name "Norman Bean" to protect his reputation. Under the Moons of Mars inaugurated the Barsoom series and earned Burroughs US$400 ($9,927 today). It was rst published as a book by A. C. McClurg of Chicago in 1917, entitled A Princess of Mars. In a Paris Review interview, Ray Bradbury said of Burroughs that "Edgar Rice Burroughs never would have looked upon himself as a social mover and shaker with social obligations. But as it turns out ndash; and I love to say it because it upsets everyone terribly ndash; Burroughs is probably the most influential writer in the entire history of the world." Bradbury continued that "By giving romance and adventure to a whole generation of boys, Burroughs caused them to go out and decide to become special." In Something of Myself (published posthumously in 1937) Rudyard Kipling wrote: ldquo;My Jungle Books begat Zoos of them. But the genius of all the genii was one who wrote a series called Tarzan of the Apes.rdquo; This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
