Americký spisovateľ Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 – 1950) napísal vyše päťdesiat románov a množstvo poviedok. Všetky jeho diela si získali veľkú popularitu, najviac ho však preslávil románový seriál o Tarzanovi. Stal sa svetoznámym, preložili ho do mnohých jazykov a niekoľkokrát sfilmovali. Romantický príbeh chlapca, ktorý sa narodil a osirel v africkej džungli a jedine vďaka opatere a ochrane opice Kaly mohol prežiť a vyrásť v mocného a obratného muža, priťahuje čitateľov nielen Tarzanovými dobrodružstvami v divom pralese. Čistá osobnosť mladého človeka vychovaného prírodou, jeho túžba spoznať ľudí a húževnaté úsilie pochopiť ich a dorozumieť sa s nimi, sklamanie, akým potom naplní jeho šľachetnú dušu spletitá džungľa civilizácie, to všetko nás chytí za srdce. Veď ho vieme pochopiť, každý z nás má občas podobné pocity a túži odísť do prírody, kde nejestvuje faloš a pretvárka, kde je všetko prosté a jednoznačné.

Set a year after Tarzan and Jane's previous adventures, the narrative follows their life as they raise their son, Jack, while Tarzan builds a home in Africa.

As the third installment in Burroughs' series, it continues to explore Tarzan's dual identity and the challenges of parenthood amid his adventurous heritage.

Z obalu knihy: Druhý diel tarzanovského seriálu je pokračovaním Tarzanových dobrodružstiev a príbehu o jeho láske k Jane, ktorej sa šľachetne vzdal a usiluje sa na ňu zabudnúť. Náhoda ho privedie z civilizovaného sveta znova do rodnej džungle, kde sa stane náčelníkom domorodého kmeňa. Podnikne výpravu do tajomného polozboreného mesta a ocitne sa v zajatí jeho strašných obyvateľov... Ani Jane nežije pokojne a šťastne. Pod rozličnými zámienkami donekonečna odkladá svoj sobáš, na priateľovej jachte podnikne plavbu okolo Afriky a po stroskotaní div neumrie od hladu a smädu v záchrannom člne... Kto hľadá v knihe vzrušenie, exotiku a dej bohatý na nečakané dobrodružstvá, toho Tarzanov návrat iste nesklame a rád potom siahne aj po ďalšom zväzku, ktorý vyjde pod názvom Tarzanove šelmy.

Open theism has reached its adolescence. How did it get here? And where does it go from here? Since IVP's publication of The Openness of God in 1994, evangelical theology has grappled with the alternative vision of the doctrine of God that open theism offers. Responding to critics who claim that it proposes a truncated version of God that fails to account for Scripture and denies many of the traditional attributes of God, open theism's proponents contend that its view of God is not only biblically warranted but also more accurate--with a portrayal of God that emphasizes divine love for humanity and responsiveness to human free will. No matter what one's assessment, open theism inarguably has made a significant impact on recent theological discourse. Now, twenty-five years later, Richard Rice recounts in this volume the history of open theism from its antecedents and early developments to its more recent and varied expressions. He then considers different directions that open theism might continue to develop in relation to several primary doctrines of the Christian faith.
