| Summary |
"Tarzan Triumphant" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. In this adventurous tale, various characters find themselves entangled in a narrative marked by fate and danger, with the iconic character Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, poised to save them from threats posed by both wild creatures and treacherous adversaries. As the story unfolds, it hints at a struggle between civilizations and the lure of primitivism, all centered around Tarzan's indomitable spirit. The opening of the novel introduces a diverse cast of characters, including Lady Barbara Collis, an aviatrix lost in the clouds above an uncharted region, and Lafayette Smith, a geologist embarking on a journey into Africa. As Lady Barbara parachutes into the mysterious Land of Midian, she unwittingly confronts a culture steeped in fanaticism. Simultaneously, Stabutch, an antagonist, plots under Stalin's orders, and Kabariga, a desperate chief, seeks Tarzan's aid against a group of slave raiders terrorizing his people. This tapestry of intertwined lives sets the stage for adventure, conflict, and the exploration of human nature against the backdrop of the wild, unknown African terrain.
