Summary |
"Tarzan and the Lion Man" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story returns to the iconic character Tarzan, the Lord of the Jungle, as he navigates a complex situation involving a man who bears a striking resemblance to him. The novel blends adventure with satire, exploring themes of survival, identity, and the absurdities of Hollywood itself. The opening of "Tarzan and the Lion Man" introduces a tense scene where Tarzan observes a ritualistic dance of painted warriors surrounding a prisoner—who frighteningly resembles him. Simultaneously, we are taken to the bustling office of Mr. Milton Smith, a film executive in Hollywood, as he discusses the production of a new jungle film that aims to capture the authenticity of Africa. Smith is eager to send a crew, including a director and various actors, directly into the heart of the wilderness, unaware of the challenges that lie ahead. This sets the stage for a story that is not only action-packed but also laced with humor about the film industry. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
