The Son Of Tarzan - Paperback

by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Author)

Edgar Rice Burroughs, a native of the United States, wrote the book The Son of Tarzan. The story begins with Jack, the young son of Tarzan and Jane, enthralled with Ajax, the star of a trained ape performance, unaware of his father's brutal background. Paulvitch, Tarzan's former enemy who seeks revenge on the ape-man, has brought Ajax, who is actually Tarzan's lifelong buddy Akut, to London. Jack and Akut travel to Africa where they adopt the life of Jack's strong father after killing Paulvitch in self-defense. The Greystoke heir, who grows to maturity in the forest and acquires the moniker Korak, the Killer, befriends Meriem, an Arab waif who has been saved from a life of suffering in the village where her adoptive father lives. The appearance of evil men challenges the couple's beautiful jungle existence, but their plan to split them apart-and the dangers that follow-only deepen Korak and Meriem's relationship. How Tarzan and Jane will survive this jungle life? How will they both rescue themselves from this evil man? How was Paulvitch killed? What will happen next? These questions can cause curiosity in the reader's mind which can be solved after reading this book.
