Tarzan of the Apes Annotated and Illustrated Edition
John and Alice Rutherford Clayton II are abandoned on the West Coast of Africa, with their infant son John. John's mother dies and his father is killed by Kerchak, the king ape. John is then taken in by Kala, his ape mother. She raises him as her son and renames him Tarzan. Growing up, Tarzan finds it difficult to be the same as his animal peers, as they are from two different species. He always sees his human differences as being a limitation to being fully accepted. When he comes across his parent's cabin he realizes that there are more people that exist elsewhere and learns of them through the books left behind. However, he cannot speak English.

Tarzan of the Apes
Tarzan of the Apes is the first in a series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was first published in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine in October, 1912; the first book edition was published in 1914. The character was so popular that Burroughs continued the series into the 1940s with two dozen sequels. It tells the story of John Clayton, born in the western coastal jungles of equatorial Africa to a marooned couple from England, John and Alice (Rutherford) Clayton, Lord and Lady Greystoke. Adopted as an infant by the she-ape Kala after his parents die (his mother dies of natural causes on Tarzan's first birthday, and his father is killed by the savage king ape Kerchak), Clayton is named Tarzan (White Skin in the ape language) and raised in ignorance of his human heritage.
