In this biography Philip José Farmer pieces together the life of this fantastic man, correcting Burroughs&#8217;s errors and deliberate deceptions and tracing Tarzan's family tree back to other extraordinary figures, including Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Doc Savage, Nero Wolfe, and Bulldog Drummond. <br><br><i>Tarzan Alive</i> offers the first chronological account of Tarzan's life, narrated in careful detail garnered from Burroughs&#8217;s stories and other sources. From the ill-fated voyage that led to Greystoke's birth on the isolated African coast to his final adventures as a group captain in the RAF during World War II, Farmer constructs a comprehensive and authoritative account. Farmer&#8217;s assertion that Tarzan was a real person has led him to craft a biography as well researched and compelling as that of any character from conventional history. This definitive Bison Books edition also includes Farmer&#8217;s &#8220;Exclusive Interview with Lord Greystoke&#8221; as well as &#8220;Extracts from the Memoirs of &#8216;Lord Greystoke&#8217;&#8221; first anthologized in <i>Mother Was a Lovely Beast</i>.<br><br></div> 1387346 book 1972 Tarzan Alive: A Definitive Biography of Lord Greystoke (Bison Frontiers of Imagination) total:76|5:22|4:29|3:18|2:6|1:1| 76 293 114 9 0 1 false false Sun Mar 09 17:53:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 09 17:55:31 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1977 Wed Nov 25 18:22:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 18:25:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jan 23 09:56:19 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 09:57:35 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 18 09:25:06 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 09:29:23 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Nov 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 10:49:34 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 07:44:45 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Mon Jun 08 09:01:39 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 07:44:37 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 09:01:39 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Nov 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jul 16 08:23:48 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 18:30:41 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jul 27 11:50:26 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 11:51:08 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon May 28 10:29:55 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 10:31:10 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sat Nov 21 15:08:49 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 15:08:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 20:18:49 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 22:35:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 00:07:07 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 00:07:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 12 17:59:13 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 17:59:13 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Oct 16 10:49:31 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 05:14:47 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 05:14:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 14:00:52 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 14:00:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 08:44:26 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 08:44:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 12 16:56:59 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 16:56:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 07 01:59:01 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 01:59:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Sep 02 22:04:28 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 22:04:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 02 18:00:25 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 18:00:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=239252
