	Pellucidar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Burroughs' concept, the Earth is a hollow shell with Pellucidar as the internal surface of that shell.
		Pellucidar is accessible to the surface world via a polar opening permitting passage between the inner and outer worlds, through which a rigid airship visits in the third book of the series.
		Pellucidar was the major inspiration for Lin Carter's Zanthodon novels of the late 1970s and early 1980s, set in a vast cavern beneath the Sahara Desert.

	ERBmania! - PELLUCIDAR
		In the oceans of Pellucidar are immense floathing islands.
		Pellucidar, the world, is nearly as large a character as the heroes and villans beneath the earth's crust, but the reader's enjoyment stems from the variety and inventiveness of the human and humanoid cultures that populate this strange world.
		Pellucidar has one other distinction in all the ERB canon: it is the site of a cross-over story between the inner world of David Innes and the outer world of Tarzan of the Apes.

	Beasts of Pellucidar
		Pellucidar’s landarea is roughly in the position of the surface world’s oceans, and vice versa, giving it a far greater land surface.
		In “Pellucidar”, the second book in the series, David and Dian are the two intended victims, pitted in the arena against a mammoth tarag.
		Unlike the thipdar, and most wildlife of the Earth’s Core, the Pellucidaran t-rex is often misnamed in pastiches, such as John Eric Holmes’ Mahars of Pellucidar (where it is called a “dryath”), and in the Filamtion TV series (where it is called a “zabor”), possibly since it is barely mentioned in the series.

		Pellucidar has no horizon since her surface curves away upward in all directions from the observer, so that one's line of vision goes onward and upward until lost in the haze of the distance.
		PELLUCIDAR David Innes returns to Pellucidar in the iron mole, bringing such implements as might aid him to establish the empire of his dreams.

		This is the land of Pellucidar, a place where dinosaurs roam through the jungles, and where saber-toothed tigers hunt the mastodon and mammoth.
		A tiny sun, the molten core of the earth, hangs in the center of the heavens, shedding perpetual daylight upon Pellucidar.
		Stranger still, because Pellucidar rests on the inner side of the earth's crust, there is no horizon.

		The incident of the finding of that buried telegraph instrument upon the lonely Sahara is little short of uncanny, in view of your story of the adventures of David Innes.
		When we reached the spot and unearthed the little box the instrument was quiet, nor did repeated attempts upon the part of our telegrapher succeed in winning a response from the other end of the line.

		That she knew that we were about to return to Pellucidar was evident, for immediately her manner changed from that of habitual gloom that had pervaded her, to an almost human expression of contentment and delight.
		As Perry had discovered among the writings of her kind in the buried city of Phutra, it was still an open question among the Mahars as to whether man possessed means of intelligent communication or the power of reason.
		I felt that if she could return to her own kind with the story of her adventures, the position of the human race within Pellucidar would be advanced immensely at a single stride, for at once man would take his proper place in the considerations of the reptilia.

		When I returned to the fleet I found that one of the islanders of Juag's tribe, who had been absent when we arrived, had just returned from the mainland with the news that a great army was encamped in the Land of Awful Shadow, and that they were threatening Thuria.
		The task of ridding Pellucidar of these hideous crea- tures is one which in all probability will never be entirely completed, for their great cities must abound by the hundreds and thousands of the far-distant lands that no subject of the empire has ever laid eyes upon.
		The horses of Pellucidar are far too diminutive for such uses, some species of them being little larger than fox-terriers.

		It was the navy of the empire of Pellucidar which I had instructed Perry to build in my absence.
		I suppose that by comparison with the great guns of modern naval vessels of the outer world it was a pitifully small and inadequate thing; but here in Pellucidar, where it was the first of its kind, it was about as awe-inspiring as anything you might imagine.
		The old man must have rubbed it in pretty strong, for those fierce warriors nearly came to blows in their efforts to be among the first of those to kneel before me and kiss my hand.

	Jack McDevitt introduces PELLUCIDAR, by Edgar Rice Burroughs
		I spent an entire summer in Pellucidar, and then moved out to Carson Napier's Venus, which was interesting, but somehow not quite up to the place in which David Innes (and eventually Tarzan) had been trekking about.
		Thanks to the police officers, the firemen, the medical people, the troops, the people in the Pennsylvania plane, and probably some others we don't know about, heroes are in.
		I had expected, when I sat down to reread Pellucidar, to discover that David Innes would not be as I remembered him, that he would be too heroic to be believable, too noble to be taken seriously.

		"Pellucidar" is the second volume in the Pellucidar series by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and find our hero David Innes and his scientist friend Abner Perry returning to the inner world.
		This 1923 novel is stanrd ERB adventure, where the hero is separated by circumstances and bad guys from the woman he lives (in fact, it is very reminiscent of "The Gods of Mars," the second John Carter novel).
		What makes Pellucidar a bit different from the rest of the Burroughs fantasy adventures is the unique geography of the inner world and the prominence of smart guy scientist Abner as a supporting character (i.e., the brains of the outfit).

		It is largely comprised of the low-density crustal material blown off of Pellucidar, as well as the planet or planetoid which impacted it.
		And to the inhabitants of Pellucidar, existing in the deep caverns beneath, it is forever hidden, and might as well not exist.
		Like all planets of this type, Pellucidar had formed as a larger, slightly more massive world but suffered a gigantic impact, probably with another forming planet, which stripped away most of the lighter materials and left behind a planet with a large and heavy core.

		For me, Pellucidar has always been the most fascinating world created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, in part because AT THE EARTH'S CORE was the first book that I read by the Master of Adventure.
		Given the number of prehistoric animals that lived in Pellucidar, this is perhaps not surprising.
		In Pellucidar, they are only found beside the Land of the Awful Shadow on the Lidi Plains, where they browse on the "grotesque" vegetation and drink from the slow and sullen rivers.

		Burroughs' writing is simply fabulous, and even makes the characters seem all the more realistic, though many of them are not even human, but sentient creatures who can exist only in the minds of great writers like Burroughs, and in the land known as Pellucidar.

	Review Essays: November 2003
		Virtually every chapter of Pellucidar ends with our hero enmeshed in a crisis from which delivery seems all but impossible; each subsequent chapter then testifies to his ingenuity and physical strength, for each time he escapes to advance his project of subduing and civilizing the world of Pellucidar.
		Having subjugated the native populations and singlehandedly routed the legions of his chief adversary Hooja, Innes is universally acknowledged as emperor of Pellucidar.
		Burger’s Afterword, by contrast, is a fascinating essay with an intriguing title: “A Railroad through the Pleistocene; or with Roosevelt in Brightest Pellucidar.” Burger explores the similarities between Innes’s adventures in the imaginary world of Pellucidar and the political enterprises of Theodore Roosevelt.

		David Innes of Pellucidar by John Coleman Burroughs and ERB is a 32-page comic strip adaptation of ERB's At the Earth's Core.
		Possibly as a test, it was decided to have John Coleman Burroughs write and draw a 20-page story to be featured as part of a one-shot comic...but the one-shot comic never materialized and instead the first 12 pages of this 20-page story were published in an obscure, badly-distributed comic book called HI-SPOT #2 (November, 1940).
		By early 1941 the decision had been made that DAVE INNES OF PELLUCIDAR would not be continued and that JOHN CARTER OF MARS would be discontinued from THE FUNNIES, and in August of 1941 CRACKAJACK comics (also from Western Printing) dropped the TARZAN daily strips they had been reprinting.

	ERB Biblio 0747: Savage Pellucidar
		Some of you oldsters who can still remember the history you learned many years ago will recall that Pellucidar was discovered in January 1913, by David Innes and Abner Perry, a discovery which was quite as accidental as was Columbus' discovery of America some four hundred twenty years previously, but none the less epochal.
		An hour, a day, a month, or a year may have passed on the outer crust where all men are the slaves of Time; but in Pellucidar it is still noon just as it was when they started doing whatever they may have been doing; therefore, they are no older, not even by a second.
		It is a tale not alone of the adventures of the girl, O-aa; but of those which befell Hodon the Fleet One and Dian the Beautiful and Abner Perry and David Innes and the little old man from Cape Cod, whose name was not Dolly Dorcas, and many others.
