About this book
When an aristocratic English family is marooned on the African coast, tragedy strikes swiftly—both parents perish in the unforgiving jungle, leaving their infant son orphaned and alone. Raised by a maternal ape named Kala, the boy grows into a remarkable man who bridges two worlds, never quite belonging to either. This is Tarzan of the Apes, Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary adventure novel that launched an icon in 1912 and captivated generations of readers worldwide.
Young Tarzan discovers a mysterious metal box containing his father's diary and faded photographs, sparking a profound realization about his true identity and heritage. As he matures into the Lord of the Jungle, he encounters a world far beyond the forest canopy—including the elegant Jane, who awakens new emotions within him. Burroughs masterfully weaves a fast-paced narrative that explores themes of civilization versus nature, identity, and the raw potential of humanity untamed by society's constraints.
Perfect for listeners who crave classic adventure fiction with unforgettable characters like the villainous Kerchak and the devoted Kala, Tarzan of the Apes remains a timeless tale of self-discovery and survival. Whether you're a longtime fan of this pulp adventure classic or discovering the legend for the first time, this audiobook delivers the thrilling origin story that inspired countless adaptations and cemented Tarzan's place in literary history.
