Tarzan returns to his African estate and finds carnage and disaster. His home is burned, his farm in shambles, and his beloved wife is a charred corpse.

He tracks them through warring armies - across a vast desert that no man has ever crossed - finally into a strange valley where only madmen live

Tarzan the Untamed | EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

Skipping Jungle Tales for now since it‘s prequel short stories.

Just got to get through this one to get to my Tarzan the Terrible reread!

Bookwomble Jungle Tales has some good stories about Tarzan's youth with the mangani, but is incredibly racist even by ERB's standards. 1d
snapsnarlgrowl Yeah, when I first found the books as a kid I got The Beasts of Tarzan and Tarzan the Terrible at a yard sale. I read Terrible first and loved it, then read Beasts and hated when he was interacting with other people. In retrospect, I didn‘t have the context or vocabulary to handle the racism. Now I‘m a bit scared of rereading Terrible because I fear the lemur-people are just more racism but with prehensile tails. 1d
