When Tarzan is orphaned as a baby deep in the African jungle, the apes adopt him and raise him as their own. By the time the boy is ten, he can swing through the trees and talk to the animals. By the time he is eighteen, he has the strength of a lion and rules the apes as their king. But Tarzan knows he's different. Will he ever discover his true identity?

By far Burroughs best and most famous novel, Tarzan of the Apes tells the story of a boy lost in the jungle and raised by apes in a way that is both more fantastic and more believable than any of the movie versions, all of which miss some major points. Though it has all the ethnocentric assumptions, unbelievable coincidences, and (relatively little) racism of its time, it is still one of the greatest adventure stories of all time.
