This is the story of the ape-man Tarzan, raised in the wild by the great ape Kala, and how he learns the secrets of the jungle to survive--how to talk with the animals, swing through the trees, and fight the great predators. As Tarzan grows up, he makes many friends, including Tantor the elephant and Numa the lion. When this paradise is invaded by white men, Tarzan's life changes, for in this group is Jane, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Speaking directly to our childhood fantasies, this exhilarating work takes us to that faraway place in our minds where dreams prevail, and where we too can be masters of our own domain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWith an Introduction by Gore Vidal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e And an Afterword by Michael Meyer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter serving a short time in the Seventh U.S. Cavalry, \u003cb\u003e Edgar Rice Burroughs\u003c\/b\u003e (1875-1950) was a shopkeeper, gold miner, cowboy, and policeman before becoming a full-time writer. \u003ci\u003eTarzan of the Apes \u003c\/i\u003e(1914) and its twenty-two sequels have sold more than twenty-five million copies in fifty-eight languages.
