The essentially romantic story of a boy who grows up wild and free outside the normal human community. It makes use of the unknown world of “darkest Africa” to create a thrilling background for Tarzan’s life and the growing conflict between “civilization”, as represented by the European white men who are beginning to explore and exploit a new territory, and “savage” in the beautiful animal form of Tarzan swinging from tree to tree. Innocence, experience, nature vs. nurture are all examined against the strange and teeming backdrop of the jungle. Part of the story’s enduring appeal may come from its ability to tap into the wish that perhaps we all have at moments longed to live as freely as Tarzan did
