Jungle Tales Of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Glorious tales of Tarzan’s early growth to manhood in the forest...
Tarzan, the heart of primeval Africa, escapes death on the horn of Buto the rhinoceros, saves the life of Tantor the elephant, sends the witchdoctor Bukawai to a terrible death, battle victoriously with his arch-enemy Numa the Lion, and slowly but surely fights his way to a mastery of his savage, unforgiving jungle.

Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1919, is a collection of twelve interconnected short stories set during Tarzan’s youth, before he encountered civilization. These stories explore his early experiences growing up among the great apes in the African jungle, highlighting his struggles with identity, survival, and emotions.

The tales depict Tarzan’s encounters with wild animals, his conflicts with other jungle creatures, and his growing understanding of human nature. Some stories explore his curiosity about his human origins, his attempts at friendship, and even his first experience with love. The collection provides a deeper look into Tarzan’s character, showing his intelligence, strength, and moral dilemmas as he matures.

Unlike the more action-driven Tarzan of the Apes novels, Jungle Tales of Tarzan offers a more introspective and episodic narrative, giving readers a richer insight into the legendary jungle hero’s formative years.
