Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs tells the adventurous tale of John Clayton, the orphaned son of English aristocrats who is raised by a tribe of intelligent apes in the African jungle after his parents die. Given the name Tarzan, he grows up learning the ways of the wild, becoming incredibly strong, agile, and resourceful. Though unaware of his noble heritage, Tarzan teaches himself to read and write from books left in his parents’ cabin, setting him apart from the animals around him.
Tarzan’s world changes when he encounters other humans for the first time, including Jane Porter, an American woman with whom he falls deeply in love. As he saves Jane and others from danger, Tarzan grapples with his dual identity—half wild beast, half English gentleman. Ultimately, he chooses love and honor over claiming his rightful place in society. The novel blends action, romance, and the theme of civilization versus nature, creating an iconic character who has endured for generations.
