Other editions of book E. R. Burroughs: The Beasts of Tarzan

The Beasts of Tarzan is a novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the third in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. Originally serialized in All-Story Cavalier magazine in 1914, the novel was first published in book form by A. C. McClurg in 1916.The story begins a year after the conclusion of the previous book, Tarzan (Lord Greystoke) and Jane have had a son, whom they've named Jack. Tarzan has spent much time building an estate home on the Waziri lands in Uziri, Africa, but has returned to his ancestral estate in London for the rainy season.Tarzan's adversaries from the previous novel, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, escape prison and kidnap the Greystoke heir. Their trap is elaborate and insidious, leading both Tarzan and Jane to be kidnapped as well. Rokoff exiles Tarzan on a jungle island, informing him that Jack will be left with a cannibal tribe to be raised as one of their own, while Jane's fate is to be left to his imagination.Using his jungle skill and primal intelligence, Tarzan wins the help of Sheeta, the vicious panther, a tribe of great apes led by the intelligent Akut, and a native warrior, Mugambi. With their aid, Tarzan reaches the mainland and begins a lengthy pursuit to find Jane (who is actively engineering her own extrication) and Jack.By the end of the story Rokoff is dead, while Paulvitch, his cohort, is presumed dead but manages to escape into the jungle. The Tarzan family returns to London along with Mugambi, who is offered a place at Tarzan's Waziri estate.

Not long after Tarzan claims his hereditary title of Lord Greystoke and marries Jane, their infant son, Jack, is kidnapped in London by his old Russian enemies, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch. Following an anonymous call about the whereabouts of Jack, Tarzan himself falls into Rokoff's trap and is imprisoned aboard a ship carrying Jack. Jane, fearing Tarzan was entering a trap, follows him and also finds herself in Rokoff's clutches aboard the boat. Rokoff sets sail to Africa, eventually exiling Tarzan on an island near the African coast and telling Tarzan that Jack will be left with a cannibal tribe and raised as one of their own. Using his jungle skill and primal intelligence, Tarzan wins the help of Sheeta, the vicious panther, a tribe of great apes led by the intelligent Akut, and the native warrior Mugambi. With their aid, Tarzan reaches the mainland, kills Rokoff, and tracks down his wife and son. Paulvitch, the other villain, is presumed dead, but manages to escape into the jungle.

As the rich Lord Greystoke, Tarzan becomes the target of grifters and criminals. They Kidnap his son and his wife, and strand Tarzan on a desert island. With the aid of Sheeta, a vicious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan escapes his desert island. Tarzan and his new companions reach the mainland and begin hunting down the kidnappers. Tarzan intends to have such vengeance as only a human beast of the jungle could imagine. A vengeance that would chill the blood of a more civilized man.

The entire affair is shrouded in mystery," said D'Arnot. "I have it on the best of authority that neither the police nor the special agents of the general staff have the faintest conception of how it was accomplished. All they know, all that anyone knows, is that Nikolas Rokoff has escaped."John Clayton, Lord Greystoke—he who had been "Tarzan of the Apes"—sat in silence in the apartments of his friend, Lieutenant Paul D'Arnot, in Paris, gazing meditatively at the toe of his immaculate boot.His mind revolved many memories, recalled by the escape of his arch-enemy from the French military prison to which he had been sentenced for life upon the testimony of the ape-man.He thought of the lengths to which Rokoff had once gone to compass his death, and he realized that what the man had already done would doubtless be as nothing by comparison with what he would wish and plot to do now that he was again free.Tarzan had recently brought his wife and infant son to London to escape the discomforts and dangers of the rainy season upon their vast estate in Uziri—the land of the savage Waziri warriors whose broad African domains the ape-man had once ruled.He had run across the Channel for a brief visit with his old friend, but the news of the Russian's escape had already cast a shadow upon his outing, so that though he had but just arrived he was already contemplating an immediate return to London."It is not that I fear for myself, Paul," he said at last. "Many times in the past have I thwarted Rokoff's designs upon my life; but now there are others to consider. Unless I misjudge the man, he would more quickly strike at me through my wife or son than directly at me, for he doubtless realizes that in no other way could he inflict greater anguish upon me. I must go back to them at once, and remain with them until Rokoff is recaptured—or dead."As these two talked in Paris, two other men were talking together in a little cottage upon the outskirts of London. Both were dark, sinister-looking men...

Kipling's Letters of Travel are a series of letters that the illustrious author wrote during his journeys to Japan, the United States, Egypt and Canada. Although the letters shed significant light on Kipling's views and political beliefs associated with these locations, they also form an extremely well-written work of literary art that has withstood the test of time throughout the past century, and has still proven to be an interesting and thought-provoking work today.Rudyard Kipling has commonly been known for his well-written children's novels – one of the most famous of which being The Jungle Book. Here, however, we learn of Kipling as a man, a traveler and an idealist who very much enjoys the concept itself of being British. Anyone familiar with the author, however, will know from the start that these letters will not be a simple rant on the qualities of the British Empire.Kipling takes great care in evaluating and writing about many of the places he visits, and he proves himself to be well-acquainted with Canada and the United States, as well as Japan, as it was during the turn of the 20th century. While his accounts of his travels to North America and the Land of the Rising Sun are commendable, you'll find that his account of Egypt is even more alive and enjoyable, bringing to light many of Kipling's remarkable qualities as an author.Written only 4 years after Kipling became one of the youngest ever persons to have received a Nobel Prize for literature, Letters of Travel is an excellent guide to the genuine history of Asia, North America and Asia, viewed through the eyes of a learned man and a skilled storyteller. The historical value of this writing is incontestable, and there is never a dull moment, as Rudyard Kipling presents us with his thoughts and observations of the world, as well as the state of the world, as it was during the times leading up to the First World War.
