Tarzan of the Apes

Imaginative, exotic, and suspenseful, the tale of Tarzan begins when the infant son of an aristocratic English couple is abandoned in the jungles of Africa. Rescued and reared by apes, the child learns to speak their language and imitate their ability to travel swiftly through the treetops. Eventually, his courage, immense strength, and exceptional intelligence earn him the respect and admiration not only of the apes, but of all the creatures.
The ape-man's story is told here in this classic, fast-paced novel, packed with riveting adventures as Tarzan avenges the killing of Kala, his ape-mother, subdues man-eating beasts, meets and falls in love with the beautiful Jane Porter, vanquishes greedy pirate-adventurers, and triumphs over other thrilling challenges.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) was an American author best known for his celebrated adventure and science-fiction novels. Among his most notable creations are the jungle hero Tarzan, the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, and the fictional landmass within Earth known as Pellucidar.
