About this book

Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Beasts of Tarzan plunges the legendary jungle king back into perilous adventure in this gripping 1916 fantasy novel. Originally serialized in All-Story Cavalier magazine, this third installment shifts from the civilized streets of London to the untamed African wilderness, where Tarzan's carefully constructed life as Lord Greystroke faces its greatest threat. When his nemesis Nikolas Rokoff escapes prison seeking vengeance, he orchestrates a devastating kidnapping: Tarzan's infant son is taken, and his beloved wife Jane is ensnared in the villain's elaborate trap. Imprisoned aboard a ship bound for Africa's east coast, Tarzan finds himself marooned on a desolate island with devastating news—Rokoff plans to abandon his son among cannibals. Cut off from civilization and his family, Tarzan must embrace his primal nature once more, rallying the island's animal inhabitants to his cause. This thrilling adventure showcases Burroughs' masterful storytelling as he reunites readers with iconic characters facing impossible odds. Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and man's connection to the natural world resonate throughout, while the action-packed narrative never falters. Perfect for fans of classic adventure fiction and those discovering Tarzan's world for the first time, The Beasts of Tarzan delivers the exotic escapism and imaginative world-building that made the series legendary. Experience the raw power of nature and the fierce bonds of family in this timeless tale.
