I had a good time reading Tarzan of the Apes, however, it's absolutely a pulp novel. The plot is well-known to most, the major points most likely less so, however, there isn’t anything floor-breaking going on right here. On one hand, as I identified above, Tarzan has been around for over a hundred years now.
He predicted many medical advances and possibly inspired discoverers and inventors along with his audacious fiction. Following a mutiny, English aristocrats were landed in an African jungle with their son Tarzan. After the death of his mother and father, the little Tarzan is raised by a troop of great apes, called manganism. It is a species unknown by scientists but which have traits in widespread with the first hominids, chimpanzees, and gorillas specifically their roughly primitive language.
