Summary
|
"Tarzan ja kultaleijona: Seikkailuromaani Afrikan aarniometsistä" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story continues the saga of Tarzan, the legendary hero raised by apes in the African jungles, as he faces new challenges and develops relationships with various animals and characters, including a young lion cub. The narrative explores themes of nature, survival, and the bond between humans and animals. The opening of the story introduces Sabor, a lioness struggling to care for her only surviving cub after a harsh environment leads to the loss of her other offspring. As danger approaches, Sabor instinctively protects her young one. Just as a warrior enters the scene, a violent confrontation ensues between the two, ending in tragedy for both the lioness and the human combatant. The cub, now orphaned, encounters Tarzan and his family who, recognizing the plight of the cub, decide to take it in and raise it alongside their own son, Korak. This sets the stage for Tarzan’s complicated relationship with the animal kingdom, as he faces the challenges of nurturing a wild creature in a domestic setting.
