That makes it a very different story from Hope's almost-whimsical novel. Part of the reason Burroughs left such a lasting mark on the world is because he was engaged in the events that surrounded him; the news troubled him deeply and personally. As well it might! He was writing, as he always did, on fantastical topics; but it is the fantastic nature of the twentieth century that is the real text of the man's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Borgo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592249336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.36w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/31\/2003 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edgar Rice Burroughs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378363826357,"sku":"9781592249336","price":36.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_eec637d9-7c12-4f32-ab3e-2e287790d6ce.jpg?v=1701753107","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-mad-king-by-edgar-rice-burroughs-fiction-fantasy-9781592249336","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
