The Son of Tarzan is a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1917. It is the fourth book in the Tarzan series and tells the story of Tarzan's son, Jack Clayton, who has been raised in England and is now known as Korak. When Korak learns that his father is still alive and living in Africa, he sets out on a quest to find him. Along the way, he meets a young girl named Meriem and falls in love with her. However, their relationship is threatened by a ruthless Arab slave trader named Achmet Zek, who kidnaps Meriem and takes her to his stronghold in the desert. Korak must use all his skills and resources to rescue Meriem and defeat Achmet Zek. The Son of Tarzan is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of love, loyalty, and bravery in the face of danger.As the leopard leaped for the great ape Meriem gasped in surprise and horror--not for the impending fate of the anthropoid, but at the act of the youth who but for an instant before had angrily struck his strange companion; for scarce had the carnivore burst into view than with drawn knife the youth had leaped far out above him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
