Tarzan of the Apes (Akasha Classic) Edgar Rice Burroughs

Read the book that gave birth to a legend. Tarzan of the Apes was Burroughs' first book about the boy raised by apes after the death of his English parents. Adopted as a baby by the she-ape Kala he learns the ways of the jungle and becomes a powerful member of his jungle. Yet it is clear that he is different from his peers and as a young boy he learns about the ways of his human ancestors through books he finds and learns to read in his deceased parent's cabin. When white men are marooned on the coast, including the beautiful Jane, he is increasingly torn between the savage and the civil. Will his love overcome his inner struggle; will he conquer the heart of Jane?
