About This Book

A human infant marooned in the African jungle is adopted and reared by a tribe of apes, growing into a powerful, resourceful figure who masters the forest and its perils. The narrative follows his physical and intellectual development, his conflicts with rival apes and hostile intruders, and his eventual contact with other humans. Themes explore the tension between instinct and learned culture, questions of identity and inheritance, and the clash between wild life and civilized society, all delivered through episodic adventures, dangerous encounters, and gradual revelations about the protagonist's origins and choices.
