Este es uno de los títulos de la serie más originales e inolvidables sobre el más mítico de los personajes literarios. Y no sólo por la irónica referencia que en esta novela se hace al parecido entre Johny Weissmuller y lord Greystoke, sino por el evidente reflejo en el desarrolo de la trama de la época en que fue escrita. La caída de un bombardero estadounidense en la jungla de Sumatra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la persecución a la que los japoneses someten a la desorientada y vulnerable tripulación constituye el arranque de la novela. Como siempre, la aparición de Tarzán hará cambiar lo que en apariencia será un caza evidente.

Experience the original stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and all of his adventures in the jungle in Tarzan of the Apes and The Return of Tarzan.Tarzan of the Apes (1912) and The Return of Tarzan (1913) recount the adventures of John Clayton, a man who was raised by apes after the death of his parents. Clayton was renamed "Tarzan" by the apes, and grew up in the wild without knowledge of his humanity. Even today, Tarzan remains a classic character who is still present in modern fiction. Both of these novels are picture perfect examples of American pulp fiction, portraying Tarzan as the quintessential strong, wild, able-bodied hero; always ready for adventure or to save those close to him.Tarzan of the Apes and The Return of Tarzan by Race Point Publishing is elegantly designed, coming in a clothbound edition which also features an elastic closure and a new introduction by Darren Harris-Fain.

Tarzán descubre en esta entrega a un científico loco que ha logrado que un grupo de gorilas se comporten como poco menos que seres humanos, pero además ha recreado el Londres del siglo XVII en las profundidades de la jungla. Por otro lado, se encuentra con un equipo de cine que esta intentando rodar una pelicula en condiciones muy poco propicias y que, por si fuera poco, ha perdido a una de sus estrellas. Por primera vez en esta serie, Burroughs hace una alusion velada al tratamiento que Hollywood dio a su obra narrativa, y ofrece una mirada critica acerca del mundo de las estrellas cinematograficas.
