Set in an age when man was still in the process of discovering himself and his place in nature, "Tarzan of the Apes" is a classic adventure novel that has captivated readers of all ages throughout the 20th century, and is even capable of entrancing, educating and entertaining the readers of today. The plot tells of an infant lost in the African jungle who is raised by apes as one of their own, learning to live without the commodities and restraints of civilization as it was known at that time. The boy, later known as Tarzan, is depicted as a unique character not unlike the image of many adventurers and superheroes that have actually been inspired from this very story. Far from being meant as mere entertainment, Burroughs' novel explores an age old struggle of humanity, as Tarzan is faced with the responsibility of his dual role in both the civilized and natural world. In the background, readers will also discover a realm of exotic landscapes, buried treasure and unexpected plot twists, while taking a closer look at the hero's romantic side, through his love affair with the beautiful Jane Porter. It is a truly remarkable opportunity to be able to read this novel without the many changes and distortions added to the original story by the many movies, comic books and other productions depicted throughout the past century.

According to many of those who had the privilege to read the book cover to cover, this original "Tarzan of the Apes" publication is much more than an epic plot; being described as an instructional and even a considerably deep depiction of humanity's struggle towards attaining balance and harmony with its natural surroundings.
