| Summary |
"The Tarzan Twins" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the late 1920s. This adventurous tale follows the story of two boys, Dick and Doc, who are nicknamed the Tarzan Twins due to their resemblance and connection to Tarzan of the Apes, a famous character created by Burroughs. The narrative explores themes of courage and the loss of innocence as the twins embark on a journey that takes them from England and America to the jungles of Africa, where they encounter both wild animals and unfamiliar cultures. The opening of the story introduces the Tarzan Twins and details their background as they prepare for an exciting trip to visit Tarzan in Africa. After some initial frustrations with their train journey, the boys' adventure begins when they decide to explore the jungle following a train derailment. Their curiosity leads them deeper into the wilderness, where they encounter monkeys and face the threat of a lion, igniting the perilous and exhilarating journey that awaits them. The engaging humor and captivating banter between the twins set the tone for this thrilling tale filled with danger and discovery, hinting at the challenges they will confront in the wild.
