Edgar Rice Burroughs is born on September 1 1875, in Chicago, Illinoi. As a seller of pencil sharpener, he was always looking through magazines to spot adds for his sharpener's. He read many storys in those magazines as he look through them. He knew that he could write even better tails than the ones he read in those magazines! Some of Burroughs' famous works include Tarzan of the apes and The Land That Time Forgot.
By 1911, after seven years of low wages, he was working as a pencil sharpener wholesaler and began to write fiction. By this time Burroughs and Emma had two children, Joan and Hulbert. During this period, he had copious spare time and he began reading many pulp fiction magazines and claimed:
"...if people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines that I could write stories just as rotten. As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines."
The town of Tarzana, California was named after Tarzan.
A šta je pitanje uopšte?
