1917 - the first - edition, illustrated "The Son of Tarzan" is a novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the fourth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. Alexis Paulvitch, a henchman of Tarzan’s now-deceased enemy, Nikolas Rokoff, survived his encounter with the ape-man in "The Beasts of Tarzan" and wants to even the score. He lures Jack, Tarzan’s son, away from London and into his clutches, but the youngster escapes with the help of the ape named Akut. The pair then flees into the deep African jungle where two decades earlier Tarzan himself had been raised. Jack Clayton, now on his own, becomes known as Korak the Killer and builds a reputation for himself in the jungle. Like his father before him, he finds his own place among the great apes, and also like his father, meets and rescues a beautiful young woman, Meriem. Edgar Rice Burroughs's epic story of love and adventure is well-adapted here for the reader and is a must read book for every fiction and adventure fan.
