| Summary |
"The Return of Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows the iconic character Tarzan, who grapples with his identity and existence as a man raised in the jungle, torn between his savage upbringing and the allure of civilized life. The narrative begins with his return to Europe, where he encounters new threats and rekindles complex relationships, particularly with the Countess de Coude. The opening of the book introduces the passengers aboard a liner heading from New York to Europe, focusing initially on Countess Olga de Coude and her husband. Tarzan is immediately introduced as an enigmatic figure who captures the countess's attention, which sets the stage for intrigue. As the story unfolds, we see Tarzan confront devious characters who attempt to ensnare him in a web of deception and treachery, including a card cheating incident on the ship that leads to a confrontation. Tarzan's internal struggle with his past and his moral compass becomes increasingly apparent against the backdrop of social manipulation and looming danger, foreshadowing the action and adventure to come.
