The Eternal Lover
Edgar Rice Burroughs · 1 novel · 1 novelette · 1 short story · 1914–1925
The Eternal Lover began as "Nu of the Niocene," a 1914 serialized story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, before expanding with a sequel, "Sweetheart Primeval," serialized the following year and eventually collected into a single novel published in 1925. The prehistoric-adventure premise carries Burroughs's pulp-era fascination with lost eras and ancient survivors into an early standalone work. It predates most of his better-known series by less than a decade but stands apart from them.
