Tarzan of the Apes is the first story and origin of one of modern
fiction's most enduring and mythic heroes. Raised in the savage
jungle, young Lord Greystoke must reckon with brutal beasts and
still crueler civilized enemies to understand and claim his human
heritage. Viscount and Lady Greystoke survive a shipwreck on the
jungle coast of Africa where their son is born. The couple perishes
but the boy is taken in by a mother ape who recently lost her own
child. Raised among apes and utterly unfamiliar with his humanity,
young Tarzan discovers the cabin his father built and learns
something of who he is and why he is so different from his ape
companions. Pitted against a steady stream of daunting challenges,
Tarzan will rise to rule his tribe of apes and encounter fellow
humans at last, when another shipwreck maroons lovely Jane Porter
and her comrades on his shore. By couching his extravagant
imagination in clear, direct prose the author balances his novel on
a razor edge between realistic drama and pure fairy tale. Tarzan
remains a unique and indelible character, capable of terrifying
acts of bestial violence or noble acts of loyalty and
self-sacrifice. Originally serialized in a magazine in 1912, Tarzan
of the Apes was issued in book form in 1914, the first volume in
what would become a series of 24 books and a pop culture legacy
that would encompass film, radio, television, comics and more. With
an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Tarzan of the Apes is both modern and readable.
