Together, Jack and Meriem escape from their captors and embark on a perilous journey through the jungle, facing dangerous animals and hostile tribes.As they travel deeper into the heart of Africa, Jack and Meriem's relationship deepens, but they must also confront the challenges of their different upbringings and cultural backgrounds.

With vivid descriptions of African landscapes and wildlife, Burroughs creates a vivid and immersive world that will captivate readers of all ages.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.
