Tarzan, apinain kuningas: Seikkailuromaani Afrikan aarniometsistä

A weary British officer, fresh from a recent marriage, receives a secret commission to investigate the harsh realities of colonial rule in West Africa. Charged with uncovering the mistreatment of native peoples, he sets sail under the cover of a routine assignment, his mind torn between duty and the lingering memory of his new wife.

The voyage brings him to a tangled coastline where a dense, untamed forest looms, its canopy alive with unfamiliar sounds. As he pushes inland, he encounters a tribe of apes unlike any he has ever imagined—intelligent, organized, and ruled by a strikingly charismatic leader. Their world, full of perilous trials and startling alliances, forces the officer to confront both the savagery and the hidden nobility of the jungle, setting the stage for an extraordinary clash of cultures.
