The Tarzan Series

The Tarzan series, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in the early 20th century, follows the story of a man raised by apes in the African jungle after his parents are stranded there. Tarzan, known for his strength and intelligence, interacts with both the animal kingdom and human society, navigating themes of civilization versus nature, identity, and adventure. The original novel, "Tarzan of the Apes," was published in 1912 and sparked numerous sequels, adaptations in film, television, and comics, making Tarzan a cultural icon representing the archetype of the noble savage.
