Tarzan stepped nearer. "You are Erich von Harben?" he asked in English. "And you are Tarzan of the Apes, I know," returned von Harben, in the same language. "You look every inch a Roman," said Tarzan with a smile. "I feel every inch a barbarian, however," grinned von Harben. "Roman or barbarian, your father will be glad when I bring you back to him." "You came here in search of me, Tarzan of the Apes?" demanded von Harben. "And I seem to have arrived just in time," said the ape-man. "How can I ever thank you?" exclaimed von Harben. "Do not thank me, my friend," said the ape-man. "Thank little Nkima!" TARZAN AND THE LOST EMPIRE The whole world knows Tarzan of the Apes, the white man raised in the jungles of Africa, whose deeds and exploits have made book and movie history. TARZAN AND THE LOST EMPIRE brings back to print one of the most astonishing adventures of the marvelous jungle hero. It is the story of an ancient Roman city, long forgotten by civilization and buried amid the deepest jungles of the Dark Continent.

Edgar Rice Burroughs is a by-word for adventure!
