An English lord and his wife are marooned by mutineers on the coast of West Africa, where their son is born; when both die, the baby is taken by Kala, a she-ape who has lost her own child, and raised as one of her tribe. Tarzan grows up stronger and cleverer than the apes, teaches himself to read from the books in his parents' cabin without ever hearing a word spoken, and, when a party of white explorers arrives with the young American Jane Porter, must choose between the jungle and the world of his birth.
Edgar Rice Burroughs published the story in a magazine in 1912 and as a book in 1914, and Tarzan became one of the most famous characters in the world; its picture of Africans reflects the racism of its time. Mark F. Smith reads it alone, in about nine hours.
