The American novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs first created Tarzan in 1912 for a magazine story. But Tarzan became so popular that two years later, he published a novel named Tarzan of the Apes. It was followed by a series of successful sequels that sold more than 25 million copies across the world.
Tarzan is the son of an English nobleman who gets abandoned in the great jungles of Africa. He is then found and raised by a tribe of great apes. In the course of a series of improbable but exciting adventures, he learns English, meets and falls in love with Jane, the daughter of an American scientist, and recovers his title.
Tarzan is a tall, handsome man of athletic build with grey eyes and long black hair. He is courageous, intelligent, loyal, and steadfast. However, he forgets his ethics and takes revenge when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes and when he believes Jane; his wife has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed.
