Tarzan of the Apes is a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs that tells the story of a young boy named John Clayton, born to English aristocrats Lord and Lady Greystoke. After his parents die in the African jungle, he is adopted and raised by a tribe of apes. Named 'Tarzan' by the apes, he grows up with the traits and instincts of his primate family, yet he also discovers his human heritage through a book left by his parents. Tarzan becomes an expert in the jungle, developing physical prowess and survival skills. His life changes when he encounters other humans, including Jane Porter, with whom he falls in love. Tarzan's dual identity as both an ape-man and a human aristocrat leads to a struggle to reconcile his wild upbringing with the expectations of human society. The novel explores themes of nature versus nurture, civilization versus savagery, and the essence of what it means to be human.
