Later protagonists include indigenous caveman Tanar and additional visitors from the surface world, notably Tarzan, Jason Gridley, and Frederich Wilhelm Eric von Mendeldorf und von Horst.

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.
