Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, Tarzan, the "ape man," was born from a desire to create a hero who embodied both the ferocity of the wild and the sophistication of civilization. Jane Porter, the beautiful and intelligent daughter of an American adventurer, completes the iconic duo. Their story, first published in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine , follows their journey from a chance encounter in the African jungle to a romantic partnership that spans the globe.
