This carefully crafted ebook: "PELLUCIDAR SERIES - Complete Collection (7 Novels in One Volume)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Pellucidar is a fictional Hollow Earth invented by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs for a series of action adventure stories. In a notable crossover event between Burroughs' series, there is a Tarzan story in which the Ape Man travels into Pellucidar. In Burroughs' concept, the Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell. Pellucidar is accessible to the surface world via a polar opening allowing passage between the inner and outer worlds. 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. The stories initially involve the adventures of mining heir David Innes and his inventor friend Abner Perry after they use an "iron mole" to burrow 500 miles into the Earth's crust. Later protagonists include indigenous caveman Tanar and additional visitors from the surface world.
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) 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. Beside Tarzan's adventures, Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving Earthly adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs's fictional name for Mars, and Amtor, his fictional name for Venus), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns and historical romances.

old school adventure tales
fun to read for the most part. since it was written a century ago-ish, the attitudes toward women & anyone not of northern European descent can be tiring. by the last book, they become cartoonish, apparently mocking racist & paternalistic attitudes, so perhaps it was all social commentary, but the final volume is stories released by his son & the estate, so it may just have ben their attempt to polish his rep. hard to know for sure, but they stories remain an entertaining read.

No pensé que me iba a entretener tanto con el libro, sobre todo con las aventuras del protagonista.
Se me hizo medio pesada esa idea de estar pensando en conquistar todo lo que pisa eso sí, pero encaja en el contexto imperialista en que fue escrito el libro.
El final se desinfla un poco, es precipitado.
Me enteré que hay como mil partes de esta saga, así que me veo obligada a leerlos (por ahora)

Warning: this will be a rave review. I'm an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan and Pellucidar is my favorite series, not only because I love dinosaurs, but for the social satire. The entire series is laced with satire and social commentary, and the last book is dripping with it.

Great.
Held my interest well. Good reading. The characters were pretty true to human kind. I will for sure more Burroughs.
