Savage Pellucidar is a 1962 fantasy story collection by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the seventh and final book in his series about the fictional "hollow earth" land of Pellucidar. It was published twelve years after Burroughs's death.
Like a number of other posthumously published books by Burroughs, this book is not a novel but a collection of short stories. Three of the stories, "The Return to Pellucidar," "Men of the Bronze Age," and "Tiger Girl," were published in Amazing Stories between 1941 and 1942 and a fourth, "Savage Pellucidar," was published for the first time after being discovered in a safe by Burroughs's son Hulbert in the early 1960s.
Famous quotes containing the word savage:
“The Aquarium is gone. Everywhere,
giant finned cars nose forward like fish;
a savage servility
slides by on grease.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
