Burroughs obviously did not blacks or browns a whole lot. For him and his readers, racism isn't an issue. One is white or one is black (brown, red, or otherwise). White is good. Anything else bad. Kinda like Tarzan, eh? (  ) andyray | Dec 22, 2007 |  One of Burroughs' better "Tarzan" books, in which Tarzan's son Jack (later Korak) flees to the jungle as a young boy after he believes he is an accomplice in the killing of a man who is secretly Tarzan's enemy, Alexis Paulvitch. He is trained in the lore of the jungle by Akut, an ape who befriended Tarzan in "The Beasts of Tarzan". He grows to young manhood as a kind of young Tarzan, and is later reunited with Tarzan and Jane. Thoroughly satisfying storytelling. (  ) burnit99 | Jan 1, 2007 | Tarzan has overcome Rokoff, but Paulivitch still lives. He is sneaky, and gets Tarzan's son Jack to leave London. In Africa, Jack escapes, with the help of one of the esteemable apes. Jack must now become his father, and create his own legend, becoming Korak the Killer. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/90 http://superprose.blogspot.com/2006/1... (  ) bluetyson | Nov 25, 2006 | Paulvitch still lived and sought vengeance against Tarzan. As part of his plot, he lured Tarzan's young son away from London. But the boy escaped, with the aid of the great ape Akut. They fled to the savage African jungles where Tarzan had been reared. There the civilized boy had to learn to meet the great beasts and face the dangers only his father had ever conquered. But he grew in time into Korak the Killer, almost as mighty as Tarzan. Korak found a friend in Meriem, whom he rescued from a raiding Arab band. Then he discovered that the dangers of the jungle were nothing compared to those devised by men. rajendran | Jul 23, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
