Classic Adventures
Tarzan, lord of the jungle — Con...
Authored by Authors: Burroughs, Edgar Rice, 18..., 'Tarzan, lord of the jungle — Con...' stands as a notable and significant work within the Classic Adventures category. Burroughs's prose in this 1928 Tarzan novel pairs the ape-man's physical prowess with a narrator who moralizes about human cruelty. Dialogue and description reveal tensions between Arab, African, and European characters, while the jungle itself is rendered through sensory detail and animal perspectives. It serves as a vital entry point into the broader subjects represented in our archive.
