Publisher's Synopsis
The Son of Tarzan is a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs that was first published in 1915. The story follows the adventures of Jack Clayton, the son of Tarzan and Jane Porter, who has been raised by the ape tribe in the African jungle. When Jack is kidnapped by a group of Russian traders, he is taken to Russia where he is trained to become a circus performer. However, Jack soon escapes and returns to the jungle where he reunites with his parents and learns the ways of civilization. Along the way, Jack encounters a number of dangerous animals and tribes, as well as a love interest in the form of a young girl named Meriem. The Son of Tarzan is a thrilling adventure story that combines action, romance, and exploration, making it a classic of the adventure genre.As the leopard leaped for the great ape Meriem gasped in surprise and horror--not for the impending fate of the anthropoid, but at the act of the youth who but for an instant before had angrily struck his strange companion; for scarce had the carnivore burst into view than with drawn knife the youth had leaped far out above him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
