The Son of Tarzan. The Adventures of Tarzan's Progeny

"The Son of Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows the adventures of Jack Clayton, the son of Tarzan, as he embarks on a journey that mirrors his father's legendary exploits. The story begins with the escape of Alexis Paulvitch, a former adversary of Tarzan, who is now a broken man living in Africa. Paulvitch encounters Akut, a great ape, and brings him to London, where the ape becomes a music hall attraction.
Jack, fascinated by tales of the jungle and the ape, defies his mother's wishes and visits Akut. The boy forms a bond with the ape, reminiscent of his father's connection with the jungle creatures. When Paulvitch attempts to use Jack in a scheme of revenge against Tarzan, Akut intervenes, saving the boy and killing Paulvitch. Jack, with Akut's help, escapes and begins a journey to Africa, driven by an innate call to the wild.
Disguised as an invalid grandmother, Jack boards a ship with Akut, heading towards the African coast. The narrative explores themes of identity, heritage, and the irresistible pull of one's origins, as Jack grapples with his dual nature-civilized upbringing and primal instincts inherited from Tarzan. The story is a thrilling continuation of the Tarzan saga, blending adventure with the exploration of familial bonds and the legacy of the jungle.
