Book description
My Dear Friend,
October 15th, 1930
I've just finished listening to Burroughs' latest adventure, and I simply must share my thoughts with you. This Tarzan and the City of Gold took me completely by surprise - I confess I wasn't expecting such rich storytelling from what I'd assumed would be merely another jungle escapade.
The moment Tarzan sets foot in Abyssinia, you know you're in for something different. Burroughs has crafted something rather magnificent here, weaving together elements that feel both exotic and timeless. The imagery is so vivid, so tactile - I could practically feel the ivory armor against my skin and smell the incense of that mysterious court.
What struck me most was how the author balances the grandeur with genuine human emotion. Yes, there's slavery and political intrigue, but there's also something deeper at play. The way Tarzan navigates between love and hate, between new friendships and ancient enmities, feels remarkably sophisticated for what's ostensibly an adventure tale.
The audiobook narrator deserves special mention - his voice captures the exotic atmosphere perfectly without ever veering into the theatrical. When he describes the Grand Hunt or the flaming Xarator, you're right there in the arena, heart pounding.
I particularly appreciated how Burroughs doesn't shy away from the darker elements. This isn't sanitized entertainment; it's a genuine exploration of power, loyalty, and survival in a world where the rules are written in blood and gold.
The pacing is excellent - just when you think you've settled into one aspect of the story, Burroughs pulls you into something entirely new. From the throne of the Great God Thoos to the lion pit, each scene builds upon the last with remarkable skill.
Honestly, my friend, this is Burroughs at his most confident and creative. I'd recommend this to anyone who thinks they've outgrown adventure fiction - they might be surprised by how thoroughly it captures their imagination.
Your devoted reader,
Margaret
