Unabridged classic adventure novel from 1914 tells of an aristocratic English infant, abandoned on the death of his parents in the African jungle, who is reared by apes. Story includes riveting encounters with man-eating beasts, Tarzan's love affair with the beautiful Jane Porter, buried treasure, much more. Original, exotic, highly readable.

An interesting look into early American stories. This book is true male escapism. Overall an interesting look into the historical attitudes at the time, however, I am bored with the shallow character of Tarzan. Maybe I'll try reading this again, but I doubt it. It was fine to read when I was actively reading, but I struggled to want to pick up the book and start after each time I put it down.
