| Summary | "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written during the early 20th century, continuing the adventures of the iconic character Tarzan. The story unfolds in the rugged landscapes of the Congo and Opar, where Tarzan, the noble savage raised by apes, confronts various adversities and foes, including Lieutenant Albert Werper and the notorious Achmet Zek, as they plot to exploit the treasures of Opar while also threatening Tarzan’s loved ones. The opening portion introduces us to Lieutenant Albert Werper, who is deeply troubled by his past misdeeds and isolation in the Congo. After a violent confrontation with his captain, Werper flees into the jungle, where he encounters Achmet Zek, a cunning Arab leader. This early encounter sets the stage for a plot of betrayal and revenge, as Zek enlists Werper's help to capture Tarzan and ransom his wife, Jane. In juxtaposition, Tarzan is depicted in his primal form as he grapples with remnants of his civilized self and his inherent instincts, ultimately leading him towards adventures filled with danger, treasure, and the preservation of those he loves. As tensions arise, the opening hints at an intricate web of loyalties and conflicts that will define the journey ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
