Description

This book argues that the liberal concept of rights presupposes and is grounded in an individualistic culture or shared way of relating, and that this particular shared way of relating emerged only in the wake of the Reformation in the modern West.

Description

Tarzan and a young German, working independently, find a lost remnant of the Roman Empire hidden in the mountains of Africa. This novel is notable for the introduction of Nkima, who serves as Tarzan's monkey companion in it and a number of later Tarzan stories. It also reintroduces Muviro, first seen in Tarzan and the Golden Lion, as sub-chief of Tarzan's Waziri warriors.

One of my favorites to this point in reading the series. This book takes you to a hidden valley where a lost Roman civilization has lived for hundreds of years. Through this Burroughs gives us a peek at Roman culture and existence, much like he did with Knights in the previous book.
