Tanar of Pellucidar, by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page here:

https://librivox.org/tanar-of-pellucidar-by-edgar-rice-burroughs/

Pellucidar—the hollow center of the Earth, a land of savage men and prehistoric beasts—is the scene of this exciting novel. In Pellucidar dwell the Buried People; here is the Land of Awful Shadow; here the terrible Korsars terrorize the oceans, while dinosaurs and saber-tooth tigers terrorize the lands. This is the story of Tanar, a young chieftain and the cave girl Stellara, and of their struggle for survival against a myriad dangers.
This is an epic of adventure by Tarzan’s creator. (Summary from original Gutenberg text)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/70199

Target completion date: 2024-02-01

Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Section 1 ready for PL.

Expect the usual ERB formula: lone hero, beautiful maiden (who I'm sure will turn out to be a princess), monsters, and numerous captures and escapes.

Sections 9 - 13 ready for PL.

It seems that ERB had entered his hack period. This just feels recycled from previous books. Not just the theme, characters and overall plot, but individual scenes appeared in earlier works. Oh well, nobody made me do it. :mrgreen:

So I think that's now four times each they've been captured. Probably a couple more before the end.
