Sample text
P. Lovecraft begins publishing science fiction works, increasing the popularity of the genre. 1932 The premiere of the first Tarzan 舠talkie,舡 Tarzan, the ApeMan, is a big success; even Burroughs is pleased with the film, which stars Johnny Weissmuller. The first Tarzan radio show airs. 1934 Flying lessons are Burroughs舗s favorite pastime. He falls in love with an actress, Florence Dearholt; he and Emma divorce. Concerned that he is not considered a serious writer, he writes several pieces under pseudonyms, including an epic poem about Genghis Khan; most are rejected.
He often spoke of his discontent with the life he was leading at the time he wrote Tarzan of the Apes. 舠Tarzan was, in a sense my escape from unpleasant reality. Perhaps that is the reason for his success with modern readers. Maybe he takes them, too, away from humdrum reality舡 (Porges, Edgar Rice Burroughs, p. 134). In his mid-thirties, married with two children, Burroughs was living in Chicago, working for a business magazine called System after having tried several different approaches to making a living, from being a railroad cop chasing hobos to an office manager at Sears, Roebuck.
Moreau is published. 1897 Discharged from the army, Burroughs returns to Chicago and works for his father at the American Battery Company. He begins courting his childhood sweetheart, Emma Centennia Hulbert. An interest in drawing leads him to enroll for a short time in the Chicago Art Institute. Bram Stoker舗s Dracula is published. 1898 Burroughs leaves for Idaho to help his brothers on the family ranch. He opens a stationery shop in Pocatello, intending to import magazines and periodicals to the Wild West, but business is bad.
