Tarzan of the Apes
Tarzan of the Apes, published in magazine form in 1912 and as a book in 1914, is the novel in which Edgar Rice Burroughs created one of the best-known characters in popular fiction. An English lord and his wife, marooned on the West African coast, die within a year, and their infant son is adopted by the she-ape Kala. Growing up stronger and cleverer than the apes, he teaches himself to read from his dead parents' books, learns the law of the jungle with knife and rope, and at last meets other humans, including Jane Porter. Burroughs wrote fast and without pretension, and the book's combination of adventure, romance and the question of what makes a man carried it through two dozen sequels. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
