| Summary |
"Tarzan and the City of Gold" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story continues the adventures of Tarzan, the iconic jungle hero, as he embarks on a quest filled with danger and intrigue in the mysterious ancient land of Abyssinia. This work promises an exciting exploration of wild adventures, showcasing themes of survival, primal instincts, and encounters with both nature and humanity. The opening of the novel introduces Tarzan amid the lush and treacherous backlands of Abyssinia, where he experiences the thrill and perils of the untamed wilderness. After tracking down a buck to sate his hunger, he is ambushed by a band of ruthless horsemen known as "shiftas", leading to a fierce fight for survival. Armed only with his bow and spear, Tarzan defends himself with remarkable prowess, showcasing his skill and strength. As he escapes the bandits, he encounters a white prisoner under the watch of the "shiftas", which ignites his curiosity and sets the stage for further adventures. This initial portion swiftly establishes Tarzan as a symbol of primal strength and bravery, while hinting at deeper conflicts and the complex dynamics of civilization versus the wild.
