Tarzan of the Apes

After a shipboard mutiny strands Lord and Lady Greystoke in Africa’s untamed jungles, they perish, leaving their infant son orphaned. Adopted by Kala, a fierce ape, the boy—named Tarzan, meaning “white skin”—grows up among animals, developing unmatched strength and cunning.

In his parents’ abandoned cabin, Tarzan teaches himself to read, piecing together clues to his human origins while wrestling with his identity. When strangers arrive on his shores, Tarzan’s world shifts dramatically. With extraordinary skill, he protects the newcomers from savage beasts, treacherous mutineers, and Mbonga’s fierce warriors.

First published in 1912, Tarzan of the Apes appears on Dr. John Senior’s 1000 Good Books List.
