| Summary |
"Tarzan, apinain kuningas: Seikkailuromaani Afrikan aarniometsistä" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story follows the life of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, and his wife Alice, who find themselves in dire circumstances in the African wilderness. After surviving a shipwreck, they face various challenges in their quest for survival, intertwined with themes of civilization, nature, and the unknown. The opening of the novel introduces John Clayton, who embarks on a crucial mission to West Africa, accompanied by his wife, Alice. Their journey takes a dark turn when their ship, the Fuwalda, becomes the site of violent unrest, leading to a mutiny. While Lord Greystoke attempts to navigate this perilous situation, both he and Alice are drawn into a web of danger and survival as they find themselves abandoned in the heart of the jungle. The vivid details set the stage for the subsequent adventures and the eventual birth of their son, who becomes central to the unfolding tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
