Tarzan of the Apes
The classic adventure story of Tarzan brought to life!
This unabridged recording of the classic adventure novel from 1914 tells
of an aristocratic English infant, abandoned in the African jungle upon
the death of his shipwrecked parents, who is reared by apes. Given the
name "Tarzan," meaning "white-skin" in the language of the apes, Tarzan
is raised without knowledge of his own kind, until the beautiful
socialite Jane Porter sets foot into his secluded life. Soon, Tarzan is
forced to question his place in the world, and ultimately decide between
the world he knows, and the world of his kind.
Jane
The only female student in Cambridge University's medical program, Jane
Porter is far more comfortable in a lab coat dissecting corpses than she
is in a corset and gown sipping afternoon tea. A budding
paleoanthropologist, Jane dreams of traveling the globe in search of
fossils that will prove the evolutionary theories of her scientific
hero, Charles Darwin.
When dashing American explorer Ral Conrath invites Jane and her father
to join an expedition deep into West Africa, she can hardly believe her
luck. Africa is every bit as exotic and fascinating as she has always
imagined, but Jane quickly learns that the lush jungle is full of
secrets--and so is Ral Conrath. When danger strikes, Jane finds her
hero, the key to humanity's past, and an all-consuming love in one
extraordinary man: Tarzan of the Apes.
