The Library of America’s newest venture, presenting popular works whose characters have left an indelible impression on our literature and our culture, begins with two collectible volumes marking the centenary of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ greatest
creations: Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars. The only hardcover editions of these classic works in the marketplace, each volume features fresh designs based on the original hardcover editions, high quality Smyth-sewn bindings, and fully restored illustrations, as well as introductions by leading writers and chronologies that trace the character’s cultural impact.

Tarzan of the Apes
Edgar Rice Burroughs
With an introduction by Thomas Mallon
978-1-59853-164-0 • $20.00 ($21.00 CAN) • 4 7⁄8 x 7 1⁄4 • 432 pp. • Fiction • April

In 1912, in the pulpy pages of The All-Story magazine, Edgar Rice Burroughs invented a new American genre, the jungle romance, with a rough-hewn adventure story of abiding appeal. Now, a century after Tarzan’s fabled first appearance, here is a keepsake hardcover edition of Tarzan of the Apes, his book-length debut.

Thomas Mallon’s thirteen books include the novels Henry and Clara, Bandbox, and Fellow Travelers, as well as two collections of award-winning essays and reviews, Rockets & Rodeos and In Fact.

A Princess of Mars
Edgar Rice Burroughs
With an introduction by Junot Díaz
978-1-59853-165-7 • $20.00 ($21.00 CAN) • 4 7⁄8 x 7 1⁄4 • 384 pp. • Fiction • April

In conjunction with Disney’s major 2012 film release, John Carter, here is a deluxe, illustrated collector’s edition of Carter’s thrilling debut. “A Princess of Mars is singularly important,” writes Junot Díaz, who contributes an introduction to this volume, “in that it innovated the grammar for the American version of the lost world romance.”

Junot Díaz won the Pulitzer Prize for his first novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. His stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The Best American Short Stories.
