Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs is an adventure novel that tells the origin story of one of the most iconic jungle heroes in popular fiction. The novel begins with the story of John and Alice Clayton, Lord and Lady Greystoke, who are marooned on the coast of Africa. They die soon after their son, John Clayton II, is born, leaving him an orphan in the wilderness. He is discovered and raised by a tribe of great apes, who name him Tarzan, meaning White Skin in their language. Growing up among the apes, Tarzan learns to survive by emulating their strength, agility, and instincts. As he matures, he becomes the leader of his ape tribe and gains dominance over the jungle's wild creatures. Tarzan also discovers his parents' abandoned cabin, where he finds books, a mirror, and a hunting knife, which ultimately allow him to learn about human culture and language, albeit in a rudimentary way. The novel takes a significant turn when an expedition arrives in the jungle, bringing with it Jane Porter, an American woman. Tarzan falls in love with her and is forced to grapple with his identity as both a human and a creature of the jungle. Tarzan ultimately learns of his noble heritage, but he is torn between his love for Jane and his loyalty to the wild life that has shaped him.Tarzan of the Apes explores themes of nature versus nurture, identity, and civilization's influence on savage environments. Burroughs's portrayal of Tarzan's journey from feral orphan to self-aware hero speaks to universal questions of identity and belonging. The novel also reflects the colonial attitudes of its time, presenting a romanticized vision of Africa while addressing human strength and primal instincts.

As Tarzan walked down the wild canon beneath the brilliant African moon the call of the jungle was strong upon him. The solitude and the savage freedom filled his heart with life and buoyancy. Again he was Tarzan of the Apes--every sense alert against the chance of surprise by some jungle enemy--yet treading lightly and with head erect, in proud consciousness of his might. The nocturnal sounds of the mountains were new to him, yet they fell upon his ears like the soft voice of a half-forgotten love. Many he intuitively sensed--ah, there was one that was familiar indeed; the distant coughing of Sheeta, the leopard; but there was a strange note in the final wail which made him doubt. It was a panther he heard. He was being stalked. --from Chapter 10: Through the Valley of the Shadow Edgar Rice Burroughs created one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture, Tarzan of the Apes, and it is impossible to overstate his influence on entire genres of popular literature in the decades after his enormously winning pulp novels stormed the public's imagination. The Return of Tarzan, first published in 1913, is the second installment of Burroughs' tales of the ape-man, which would expand to encompass more than two dozen books. Here, Tarzan, having sacrificed his love for Jane Porter for the sake of her happiness, becomes embroiled in defending a French count and countess from villainous schemes, works as an agent for the French ministry of war, and returns to Africa to become chief of the Waziri tribe, among other grand adventures. American novelist EDGAR RICE BUROUGHS (1875-1950) wrote dozens of adventure, crime, and science-fiction novels that are still beloved today, including At the Earth's Core (1914), The Beasts of Tarzan (1916), A Princess of Mars (1917), The Land That Time Forgot (1924), and Pirates of Venus (1934). He is reputed to have been reading a comic book when he died.

Deadly peril threatened Tarzan: for journeying toward the Abyssinian hinterland came the Arab sheik Ibn Jad, seeking to loot a rumored treasure city. Two American hunters, Blake and Stimbol, had arrived with their safari of negro porters. Because of Stimbol's brutality to the blacks, the two had quarreled, and had decided next day to divide the safari and go their separate ways, Blake with his camera and Stimbol with his wanton rifle. Tarzan, however, ordered Stimbol back to the coast, but granted Blake permission to continue making camera studies of the wilderness folk. The two Americans next day set forth on their several ways, but Adventure was by no means done with them. For Stimbol, deserted by his blacks, fell into the hands of the Arab raider Ibn Jad. And to Blake came an even more extraordinary experience when, wandering lost and alone in a remote mountainous region, he was halted by two negroes clad in a curious medieval costume, and taken through a tunnel and to a strange castle. A portcullis was lifted-and he found himself in the presence of mail-clad knights speaking the English of the Crusades.
