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.

A great safari comes to Africa to make a movie, struggling across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it is halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There is no way to return. Ahead lies the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas live in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. And behind them comes Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks—though hardly in courage!

The drums boom forth an incredible message from tribe to tribe—Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, has become an enemy to all, stealing and enslaving their women…as well as the daughter of an English millionaire, who offers a princely reward for her recapture and Tarzan’s death.

When an American bomber crashes in the jungles of enemy-held Sumatra, the survivors face the perils of a completely unknown world…and the RAF colonel who flew with them as observer only seems to compound their danger by going mad—stripping to a loincloth and throwing away his weapons except for his knife.

On the surface, it seems unnecessary to instruct someone to be content in times of prosperity. However, times of prosperity and abundance provide some of the strongest temptations to pull our hearts away from God. Jeremiah Burroughs was keenly aware that the riches of this world compete for our affections and challenge our contentment in Christ.

The “Wild West” gunfighter is such a stock figure in our popular culture that some dismiss it all as a corny myth, more a product of dime novels and B movies than a genuinely important American history. In fact, as Bryan Burrough shows us in his dazzling and fast-paced new book, there’s much more below the surface. For three decades at the end of the 1800s, a big swath of the American West was a crucible of change, with the highest murder rate per capita in American history. The reasons behind this boil down to one word: Texas.
