Der zweite Band der Tarzan-Reihe: Tarzans Rückkehr in den Urwald. Tarzan, der als Waisenjunge bei wilden Affen im Dschungel aufgewachsen ist und seiner Liebe Jane in die Zivilisation folgte, kehrt nach vielen Abenteuern, die ihn um die Welt geführt haben, zurück in den Urwald. Er wird in den Stamm der Waziri adoptiert und, nachdem er einen Überfall auf das Dorf durch Elfenbeinräuber verhindert hat, ihr Anführer. Auf der Suche nach einer verwunschenen Stadt tief im Dschungel wird er von affenähnlichen Wesen gefangengenommen. Währenddessen ist Jane mit ihrem neuen Verlobten auf dem Weg zu ihm.

Tarzan ist der Sohn des britischen Lords Greystoke und dessen Frau, die zu Beginn noch schwanger ist. Die beiden werden Opfer einer Meuterei, werden an der afrikanischen Küste ausgesetzt und richten sich dort ein. Sie bauen eine kleine Hütte, in der sie sich sicherer fühlen als im wilden Dschungel. Ihr Sohn erhält den Namen John Clayton II., Lord Greystoke. Die Mutter stirbt, als er ein Jahr alt ist; sein Vater lässt sein Leben im Kampf gegen eine Affenbande. Von da an heißt der Waise „Tarzan“ und wird von dieser Gruppe Affen aufgezogen, unter denen sich die Affenfrau Kala besonders um ihn kümmert.

Za pomoci nože a vrozené inteligence, Tarzan roste, aby se stal králem opic, schopný čelit jakémukoliv nebezpečí a pokořit všechny nepřátele. Lidé přicházející do Tarzanovy džungle, přinášejí nebezpečí, které je motivováno chamtivostí a podvody. Jestli má porazit tuto hrozbu a získat lásku Jane Porterové, krásné mladé ženy, bude zapotřebí veškeré Tarzanovy vychytralosti.

Llana of Gathol is a unique volume in John Carter’s Barsoom series.

These are also considered to be the John Carter stories with the most humor, and explore the life of an older John Carter, Llana of Gathol being his granddaughter.
