Glorious tales of Tarzan's early growth to manhood in the forest...Tarzan, the heart of primeval Africa, escapes death on the horn of Buto the rhinoceros, saves the life of Tantor the elephant, sends the witchdoctor Bukawai to a terrible death, battle victoriously with his arch-enemy Numa the Lion, and slowly but surely fights his way to a mastery of his savage, unforgiving jungle.

Through the tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, generations of readers have thrilled to the adventures of Lord Greystoke (aka John Clayton, but better known as Tarzan of the Apes). In this biography Philip José Farmer pieces together the life of this fantastic man, correcting Burroughs's errors and deliberate deceptions and tracing Tarzan's family tree back to other extraordinary figures, including Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Doc Savage, Nero Wolfe, and Bulldog Drummond. Tarzan Alive offers the first chronological account of Tarzan's life, narrated in careful detail garnered from Burroughs's stories and other sources. From the ill-fated voyage that led to Greystoke's birth on the isolated African coast to his final adventures as a group captain in the RAF during World War II, Farmer constructs a comprehensive and authoritative account. Farmer's assertion that Tarzan was a real person has led him to craft a biography as well researched and compelling as that of any character from conventional history.

EscapismThe overriding meant subject matter with the aid of the author is one escapism. Edgar Rice Burroughs consistently declared that his aim in writing his Tarzan tales became not anything extra complicated than to offer a way of temporary get away from the bleak realities of the arena around every reader. Of path, reason is often overridden with the aid of outside analysis and a number of the issues attributed to the radical by using outside sources suggest a content material that furnished anything but get away for sure readers.The Adopted FoundlingClark Kent. Moses. Tom Jones. All given up via their actual parents and all adopted as foundlings and raised in a atypical and wondrous global to which they have been not surely born. And, of direction, all with a desire to know their real mother and father and recognize their roots. Tarzan is the Superman of the jungle and the Moses of the wild, however similar to Kal-El and Moses, he could were simply some other man if raised in that world to which he become born.
