À propos de ce contenu audio
Tarzan and the Lost Empire is Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1929 Tarzan novel, and the one that takes the ape-man furthest from the jungle he is known for — into a Roman empire that never fell.
It begins with a young man's errand. Erich von Harben, son of the German scientist Dr. von Harben, has come into the African interior to look for evidence of a civilisation his father only ever heard of second-hand. The Bagego take him and his guide Gabula prisoner; Tarzan, with Nkima on his shoulder and the Waziri behind him, brings them out. What Erich finds instead of a rumour is a valley walled off from the world, holding not one city but two.
Castra Sanguinarius and Castrum Mare are the heirs of a Roman legion that marched south, was forgotten by Rome, and split against itself. One city keeps the name of Marcus Crispus Sanguinarius, the other of Honus Hasta; between them lie a river, a generations-old quarrel, and two versions of the same story. Erich, white-skinned and Latinate enough to pass, is taken into the western city and put through its machinery: the barracks, the racing stables, the arena, and a Caesar — Sublatus — whose son Fastus wants a girl who is already promised to another man.
That promise is the hinge of the book. Maximus Praeclarus, the young officer, and Dilecta, daughter of the senator Dion Splendidus, are the pair Sublatus and Fastus mean to separate; Erich, the foreigner who has no place in either city, becomes the friend who will not let it happen. The middle of the novel is the two of them in the arena, in the cells, and finally in the tunnels under the city, where the old sewage works of the lost legion run out into a country of ape-men and of Gayat, Goyad and Zutho...
