The Son of Tarzan
"The Son of Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written during the early 20th century. This adventure tale continues the story of Tarzan, focusing on his son, Jack, who finds himself drawn to the primal instincts and the wild life of the jungle, much like his father before him. The early chapters set the stage for a narrative filled with themes of family, identity, and the clash between civilization and the untamed world as Jack embarks on his own journey influenced by his father's legacy. The opening of the novel introduces a variety of characters and situations that foreshadow the unfolding adventures. A boat named the "Marjorie W." navigates the Ugambi River, where a crew rescues an emaciated white man named Alexis Paulvitch, who recounts his harrowing years of suffering and survival in a savage tribe. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to Jack, the son of Tarzan and Lady Greystoke, who exhibits a fascination with the wild and speaks the language of apes. His curiosity leads him into a conflict between his civilized upbringing and his inherent ties to the primal world. As he seeks adventure, events set in motion by Paulvitch's malevolence intertwine with Jack's aspirations, suggesting that the influences of both civilization and the jungle will profoundly impact his journey.
