Ikuinen rakastaja by Edgar Rice Burroughs
"Ikuinen rakastaja" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. It entwines prehistoric adventure with colonial‑era African romance as a Stone Age hunter and a modern woman become mysteriously linked across time. The story centers on the caveman Nu and the fearless Victoria Custer (with her brother Barney), alongside Lord and Lady Greystoke in the African frame. Expect swift hunts, peril, and a simmering cross‑time love thread.
The opening of the story follows Nu, a prehistoric hunter who slays a sabertooth to win his beloved Nat‑ul, only to be trapped by a cataclysmic quake in the beast’s cave. The scene shifts to Africa, where Victoria Custer, visiting the Greystokes, reveals an intense fear of earthquakes and recurring dreams of a powerful, ancient lover; when William Curtiss proposes, a sudden tremor interrupts and she faints. After the quake, a sealed mountain cave bursts open and Nu awakens into a changed world, emerging with his spear and the trophy head, repairing his weapon, and killing a zebra. A hunting party (including Greystoke) finds the kill and deduces a human spearman at work, while Nu shadows them to the bungalow, fascinated by these strange people and drawn by an elusive, alluring scent.
