Présentation de l'éditeur

From where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time . . . And far behind, relentlessly pursuing, came Korak the Killer.

Adventure upon adventure--each more exciting than the last--follow fast as Tarzan, in the search for his lost wife, travels through Paul-ul-don--an unknown corner of Darkest Africa. It was barred from the rest of the world by stupendous mountains and vast morasses in whose slimy depths lurked monstrous reptiles. In its forests lived tree-dwelling men and beasts such as existed in pre-historic times when the world was young. "Tarzan the Terrible" is a thrilling and sensational book, and Tarzan's admirers will revel in its pages.

Tarzan the Terrible is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the eighth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. In the previous novel, during the early days of World War I, Tarzan discovered that his wife Jane was not killed in a fire set by German troops, but was in fact alive. In this novel two months have gone by and Tarzan is continuing to search for Jane. He has tracked her to a hidden valley called Pal-ul-don, which means "Land of Men." In Pal-ul-don Tarzan finds a real Jurassic Park filled with dinosaurs, notably the savage Triceratops-like Gryfs, which unlike their prehistoric counterparts are carnivorous. The lost valley is also home to two different races of tailed human-looking creatures, the Ho-don (hairless and white skinned) and the Waz-don (hairy and black-skinned). Tarzan befriends Ta-den, a Ho-don warrior, and Om-at, the Waz-don chief of the tribe of Kor-ul-ja. In this new world he becomes a captive but so impresses his captors with his accomplishments and skills that they name him Tarzan-Jad-Guru (Tarzan the Terrible), hence the title of this classic novel.
