Now part of popular culture folklore, this is the original story of Tarzan and his many adventures on the way to self-discovery. The Clayton couple is marooned in a coastal jungle of Africa, with no hope of escape. Then, Alice Clayton gives birth to a boy, and the family makes the best of its predicament and settles down in the jungle. But Alices death on her sons first birthday, and the murder of John Clayton by a rampaging ape tribe led by Kerchak, leaves the infant defenceless. The baby is rescued from Kerchaks wrath by the she-ape Kala, and he grows up to become Tarzan, the ape-man. The jungle is paradise for Tarzan; he makes a place for himself in the ape tribe, makes friends with other animals, and fights great predators. But when Tarzan discovers his parents old cabin, long-buried questions about his true nature begin to surface.
