Notes

Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle by Edgar Rice Burroughs is the eleventh novel in the Tarzan series, first published in 1928. In this installment, Tarzan ventures into a remote part of Africa and discovers a lost civilization reminiscent of medieval Europe, complete with knights, castles, and ancient customs. As always, Tarzan finds himself caught between worlds—both as a bridge between the wild and the civilized, and as a hero navigating political intrigue, battles, and rescue missions. The story blends pulp adventure with fantasy, continuing the series' trademark mix of action, exotic settings, and the enduring appeal of a noble hero raised in the jungle.

Like the rest of the Tarzan series, this novel reflects the early 20th-century fascination with lost worlds and heroic adventure, while also embodying the period's colonial attitudes and romanticized views of nature and nobility. Tarzan remains one of the most iconic figures in popular fiction, and Lord of the Jungle adds to his mythos with a fast-paced tale that combines swordplay, savagery, and loyalty.
