The Mucker By Edgar Rice Burroughs by Edgar Rice Burroughs Pdf
Billy Byrne is a low class American born in Chicago's ghetto. He grows up a thief and a mugger. "Billy was a mucker, a hoodlum, a gangster, a thug, a tough." He is not chivalrous nor kind, and has only meager ethics - never giving evidence against a friend or leaving someone behind. He chooses a life of robbery and violence, disrespecting those who work for a living. He has a deep hatred for wealthy society. He trains as a prizefighter but can not stop drinking. When falsely accused of murder, he flees to San Francisco and is shanghaied aboard a ship. Ironically, enforced sobriety, brutal ship's discipline and productive work improves him. The ship's secret mission is soon enacted - the hijacking of a specific yacht to take a millionaire's daughter, Barbara Harding, for ransom. Originally two stories, The Mucker begun in August 1913 and published by All-Story Weekly in October and November 1914; and The Return of the Mucker begun in January 1916 and published by All-Story Weekly in June and July 1916. The book version was first published by A. C. McClurg on 31 October 1921. From January 1922 to August 1939, Methuen (UK) published a version of The Return of the Mucker under the title The Man Without A Soul.
The Oakdale Affair By Edgar Rice Burroughs by Edgar Rice Burroughs Pdf
The house on the hill showed lights only upon the first floor-in the spacious reception hall, the dining room, and those more or less mysterious purlieus thereof from which emanate disagreeable odors and agreeable foods. From behind a low bush across the wide lawn a pair of eyes transferred to an alert brain these simple perceptions from which the brain deduced with Sherlockian accuracy and Raffleian purpose that the family of the president of The First National Bank of-Oh, let's call it Oakdale-was at dinner, that the servants were below stairs and the second floor deserted. The owner of the eyes had but recently descended from the quarters of the chauffeur above the garage which he had entered as a thief in the night and quitted apparelled in a perfectly good suit of clothes belonging to the gentlemanly chauffeur and a soft, checked cap which was now pulled well down over a pair of large brown eyes in which a rather strained expression might have suggested to an alienist a certain neophytism which even the stern set of well shaped lips could not effectually belie. Apparently this was a youth steeling himself against a natural repugnance to the dangerous profession he had espoused; and when, a moment later, he stepped out into the moonlight and crossed the lawn toward the house, the slender, graceful lines which the ill-fitting clothes could not entirely conceal carried the conviction of youth if not of innocence.
In creating some of the most enduring characters in 20th century literature, Burroughs (1875-1950) left a complex bibliographic record of editions, and a long chain of fascinated collectors. The present reference work details all United States versions of all his works published through 1995. Each listing begins with a description of the first magazine appearance of the story (with full publication data); the first hardcover is then examined in detail, with publisher, date, a complete description of the book's cover and jacket, print run, price, number of pages, and characteristics that separate it from following editions. Similar information is then provided from all subsequent editions.
A PRINCESS OF MARS:Burroughs Mars Series is second only to his Tarzan novels in popularity, with ten Mars novels published in his lifetime. "A Princess of Mars" was not only his first other-world story, but was the first publication of any Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. In 1911, under the name Norman Bean (used to protect his business reputation since Burroughs himself did not think highly of pulp fiction at the time), the first part of this novel appeared in All-Story Magazine with the title "Under The Moon of Mars." It wasn't until 1917, after three more Barsoom installments, Tarzan novels, and popularity, that "A Princess of Mars" reached book form. Edgar Rice Burroughs started writing his tales because he felt that if others could make money writing "rot," so could he. Instead, he turned out masterpieces of early fiction, and became one of the premier story-tellers.THE WARLORD OF MARS:"With a sigh I turned the prow of my craft down stream, and with mighty strokes hastened with reckless speed through the dark and tortuous channel until once again I came to the chamber into which flowed the three branches of the river. Two unexplored channels still remained from which to choose; nor was there any means by which I could judge which was the more likely to lead me to the plotters. Never in my life, that I can recall, have I suffered such an agony of indecision. So much depended upon a correct choice; so much depended upon haste. The hours that I had already lost might seal the fate of the incomparable Dejah Thoris were she not already dead-to sacrifice other hours, and maybe days in a fruitless exploration of another blind lead would unquestionably prove fatal. " Barsoom: The Warlord of Mars is the second adventure of John Carter, hero of Burroughs famous Mars series. In this book Carter must face terrible peril for the slightest chance that he may find his beloved Dejah Thoris still alive. The odds are slim and the dangers great - conditions John Carter is well used to!THE GODS OF MARS: "With the fear that we would escape them, the creatures redoubled their efforts to pull me down, and though the ground about me was piled high with their dead and dying comrades, they succeeded at last in overwhelming me, and I went down beneath them for the second time that day, and once again felt those awful sucking lips against my flesh." Barsoom: The Gods of Mars is the third exciting adventure of John Carter, Earthman on Mars. Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, weaves incredible otherworldly tales from the Red Planet; his stories have thrilled readers for a century!THUVIA, MAID OF MARS:"But I must go to her," insisted Carthoris. "You say that there are no women in Lothar. Then she must be among men, and if this be so I intend to be near where I may defend her if the need arises." "Tario will have his way," insisted Jav. "He sent you away and you may not return until he sends for you." "Then I shall go without waiting to be sent for." "Do not forget the bowmen," cautioned Jav. "I do not forget them," replied Carthoris, but he did not tell Jav that he remembered something else that the Lotharian had let drop-something that was but a conjecture, possibly, and yet one well worth pinning a forlorn hope to, should necessity arise. Carthoris started to leave the room. Jav stepped before him, barring his way. "I have learned to like you, red man," he said; "but do not forget that Tario is still my jeddak, and that Tario has commanded that you remain here." Carthoris was about to reply, when there came faintly to the ears of both a woman's cry for help. With a sweep of his arm the Prince of Helium brushed the Lotharian aside, and with drawn sword sprang into the corridor without. In this, the fourth of Burrough's Mars novels, it is the son of John Carter, Cathoris, who faces danger in the hopes of winning the freedom (and perhaps the heart) of the desperate maiden of Mars - Thuvia.
