Orphaned and abandoned in the depths of the African jungle, a young boy is found and raised by a loving female ape. Destined to be the king of the apes, Tarzan thrives among his adoptive family, but will he ever be able to feel at home in the wild? Tarzan of the Apes is the first book in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic pulp fiction series. Join Tarzan as he grows from a young, lost little boy into the powerful king of the jungle. As he ages and begins to realise the differences between himself and his family, Tarzan grows distant from the apes and begins to explore the jungle by himself. Discovering his parents’ old hut, he arms himself with his father’s knife and suddenly the animals of the jungle are no match for him. But as the powerful ape man conquers his wild home, he longs to connect with someone who truly understands him. When a group of humans are marooned in his jungle, will Tarzan finally reach a place he can call home? First published in October 1912 in the pulp magazine The All-Story, Tarzan of the Apes was released as a novel in 1914 and has had many successful screen adaptations. This volume is the perfect read for fans of fantasy novels who want to revisit a childhood classic.

This book examines how representations of African in the Anglophone West have changed in the post-imperial age. The period since the Second World War has seen profound changes in sub-Saharan Africa, notably because of decolonization, the creation of independent nation-states and the transformation of the relationships with the West. Using a range of case studies from news media, maps, popular culture, film and TV the contributions assess how narrative and counter-narratives have developed and been received by their audiences in light of these changes. Examining the overlapping areas between media representations and historical events, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African Studies and Media and Cultural Studies.

Set amid the vibrant colors and sounds of the African jungle, this classic work, rich in suspense and action, has beckoned generations of readers on a glorious journey to romance and pure adventure.

I had this story from one who had no business to tell it to me, or to any other. I may credit the seductive influence of an old vintage upon the narrator for the beginning of it, and my own skeptical incredulity during the days that followed for the balance of the strange tale. When my convivial host discovered that he had told me so much, and that I was prone to doubtfulness, his foolish pride assumed the task the old vintage had commenced, and so he unearthed written evidence in the form of musty manuscript, and dry official records of the British Colonial Office to support many of the salient features of his remarkable narrative.
