| Summary | "Tanar of Pellucidar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the late 1920s. It continues the adventures set in the prehistoric world of Pellucidar, a land located at the Earth's core. The story primarily follows Tanar, the son of a king, who finds himself captured by the Korsars, a fearsome pirate tribe. The narrative explores themes of survival, identity, and the clash between barbarism and civilization as Tanar navigates through both physical and emotional challenges. At the start of the novel, the stage is set with a prologue that introduces Jason Gridley, a radio enthusiast whose experiments lead to an unexpected signal from Pellucidar. It becomes a means of linking the outer world with Tanar's plight within the treacherous inner realm. Following the introduction, we witness the turmoil aboard a ship where Tanar is imprisoned alongside other captives, helplessly sailing through perilous waters. The story unfolds with burgeoning threats from the Korsar horde, a devastating storm that wreaks havoc on the ship, and the subsequent capture of Tanar and a fellow survivor, Stellara, as they find themselves embroiled in the community of Amiocap, navigating prejudices and their quest for acceptance. The opening captures the essence of adventure and danger, laying the groundwork for Tanar's journey of self-discovery and heroism in a vividly imaginative world.
