Tarzan is simply a white SuperCaptainCoolMan. That's all there is to it. With sinewy arms of steel forged in the leafy shadows of the darkest jungles--you get the picture. The silliest theme in the book is Tarzan's de-evolution from a gentleman in Paris to the ape-man rampaging through the jungle with his primate brethren. The not-so-subtle social Darwinism featured in all the Tarzan books is annoying if you can't get past the stupid ideas of previous generations--maybe in 75 years people will b...more

Tarz takes Paris! That's not the whole story of course but it's an impressive part of it. Tarz renounces his family name,fortune and the woman he loves, giving it all to his cousin, and he does it all in Wisconsin! Yup, Wisconsin. Hurting from the ordeal, he heads off to Paris to forget about Jane. Wow, the Apeman in the City of Lights!

I want to have liked this more. I absolutely loved the first Tarzan book, but I felt like this sequel fell a little flat. One of the things I enjoyed about Tarzan of the Apes was it's simplicity. This one was all over the place. It felt like several Tarzan short stories strung together. It lacked the cohesion and polish of the original. It started alright with Tarzan and D'Arnot, but that grew old quickly. The "Tarzan as a secret agent" section was terrible. I really enjoyed the sectio...more

It was evident that he was being warned to refrain from desecrating this particular room. Or could it be that within lay the secret to the treasure stores? At any rate, the very fact tha...more

I have to be honest, I liked this book because it was well-written much like the first in the Tarzan series of classics, Tarzan of the Apes. I will admit though that as I am reading the third in the series there is a definite trend to the books - basically at some point in time, Tarzan must always end up back in the wilds; I guess it wouldn't be Tarzan without that happening.

He improved immensely during those first few years, but re-reading his early books can often be rather painful. On the other hand, he did have a lot of very good ideas, and that is why his series are still remembered and still read today. This is especially true of Tarzan, in which he created an iconic character who is known by many people who have never even read one word of Burroughs’ work. “The Return of Tarzan”, the second in the Tarzan series which was published from June through December 1913 in “New Story Magazine” is a good example of the contrast of good ideas and poor writing.

The story picks up where “Tarzan of the Apes” left off; Tarzan had given up his legacy and the woman he loved and travels to Paris to see his friend Paul d’Arnot. On the way there, he makes an enemy of Nikolas Rokoff, and Rokoff becomes Tarzan’s nemesis. In the first book, time and time again Tarzan took on Lions, but in this book it is Rokoff that Tarzan repeatedly faces, at least in the first half. That being said, Rokoff does make a bit more interesting of a foe, as he has different schemes, but it still becomes tiresome. As the action moves back to Africa, the Lions return as a repeated foe, though Rokoff is still lurking around.

Another significant weakness of Burroughs writing at this time was his reliance on the amazing coincidence. When Tarzan is pushed overboard by Rokoff, he amazingly makes it to shore almost exactly where he lived before he was found. When the others are forced to abandon ship, they too find themselves within a few miles of the same spot even though they are split into two groups. The only slightly saving factor is they are completely unaware of how close they are to that spot.

On the positive side, Burroughs has some good ideas. He makes Tarzan struggle with his barbaric ways when in civilization. His creation of the lost city is inventive and adds a different element to the story as well. This highlights one of the key differences between the Barsoom series on the one side, and Tarzan on the other. With the Barsoom series, Burroughs was able to create an entire world, but with Tarzan he was constrained by reality, and thus it is Tarzan repeatedly fighting Lions and other wild beasts. With the lost city, Burroughs is free to break away from the constraints of the known Earth.

For the reasons given above, I don’t think the first two books of the Tarzan series hold up as well as the first two books of the Barsoom series. Neither of the series has great writing, but Mars, as a setting, gave Burroughs much more freedom to invent and imagine then did Earth, and that played to Burroughs’ strength. At the same time, one shouldn’t judge these stories too harshly. They are still good fun if somewhat dated, and if one just wants some mindless adventure they can still fill that need.

What can I say?

I LOVED "Tarzan of the Apes" but I was afraid "The Return" wouldn't thrill me as much. But I think I actually liked it more than the original. I would never recommend reading this first and skipping "Apes," but if you read the first, certainly read the second. I love Tarzan as a part of society. He's awesome and sexy and almost a hybrid of Holmes and...Tarzan (from "Apes") It's arguable, I know. But the whole time I was just sitting there thinking, "...more

(Evidently, I did so after reading part of it at a friend's house; but had forgotten the title of what I'd read there, and so came to think that episode involved a different book.) The re-reading, after a lapse of nearly 50 years, was fresh and enjoyable once again; in fact, it made me recall how much I enjoyed the original Tarzan book! I'd given that one just three stars when I reviewed it here, judging it on the basis of literary criteria like accuracy of the background, etc.; but this reading persuaded me to rate both works just on the basis of how much I enjoyed them, and so to allow the extra star.

Readers of the first Tarzan novel probably almost unanimously feel that, despite the nobility of Tarzan's choice at the end, it concludes in a very unsatisfactory way. They'll be delighted to know that this sequel affords Tarzan and Jane another chance. :-) It picks up soon after those events, commences on an ocean liner, moves to Paris and then French-ruled North Africa, and only later returns to sub-Saharan Africa. Along the way, it offers a duel, a shipwreck, attempted murders, espionage, suicide, lion attacks, a lost race, and fabulous ancient treasure, with jeopardies, rescues and escapes galore. (And, of course, romance; not just one, but four --well, actually five-- attractive ladies are among the characters.) The positive and negative characteristics of Burroughs' style are fully in evidence here --though he was apparently more familiar with his French and North African setting than his tropical African one; the former natural and cultural landscapes come across much more realistically than the latter. (His picture of the remnants of lost Atlantean civilization in Opar, on the other hand, is wildly implausible; the extreme sexual dimorphism, with the females beautiful and the males ugly and ape-like, produces the kind of reader reactions to the two groups that he wanted, but is genetically impossible, and the idea that humans could mate with apes comes straight out of the quack Darwinism of his day.) Burrough's plotting would sometimes subject the long arm of coincidence to, at the very least, a dislocated wrist; but given the fascination of his story-telling (and cliff-hanger transitions from one character/characters to another) it's a forgivable flaw. :-) African blacks in 1913 were far more advanced than the Waziri as he portrays them, but his depiction of blacks is more positive than that of some of the writers who were his contemporaries, such as Thomas Dixon (though the contrast he attempts to draw between the Waziri and the coastal blacks exhibits racial stereotyping and profiling). And here as in the first book, Tarzan is confronted with serious moral temptations and choices, and he learns and grows in that area. All in all, a great read for adventure fans!(less)

Burroughs second Tarzan novel follows more or less directly after the events of the first novel, but its setting and pace is quite different from that its predecessor. Tarzan is now, as the first book leaves him, out of the jungle, and instead of providing a new chilling ungle epic, it opens in with adventures in Europe and as Tarzan does return to the dark continent, it is as an agent of France and to areas other than his own jungle.

The only complaint is it wraps up a little too quickly and conveniently at the end, but this is forgivable because at that point the book has reached its emotional climax (between Jane and Tarzan) and the rest is really just loose ends. Hell, if a Japanese guy had wrote it we probably wouldn't have even gotten the chapter that wraps up loose ends. ;-D

In addition to "old business" from the first book, there is plenty of new and interesting stuff. Tarzan gets caught up in a lot of intrigue that eventually ends up with him being employed as a spy by the French government, and while engaging in that occupation he ends up thrown overboard a ship by the villain of the piece, which ends up washed up on the shores of Africa next to his beloved jungle. Once there, there's a matter of some gold and a lost city...

It sounds silly writing it like that, and some of it must be forgiven as this is an adventure yarn, but there is actually a lot of foreshadowing and careful use of coincidence (extreme in some cases, but never as bad as Dickens) to set things up, and everything logically flows from already-established points. A big politically-incorrect theme of both books is that it's a man's job to nobly protect women. This is what logically leads to a lot of what would otherwise seem crazy -- Tarzan's desire to protect women from harm, even strangers and women he isn't in love with, combined with his sense of fair play is what causes him to get embroiled in the things he does. This dovetails nicely with another already-established personality trait, his love of physical danger from his time in the jungle, combined with the evolution of the character: while he hates the softness of civilization, Tarzan finds that he can no longer go without the companionship of his fellow man. He wants the best of both worlds, and this leads him in all sorts of interesting directions. So while it seems silly when I write it, skillful storytelling makes it make sense when it happens. Even the lost city is not without a decent amount of foreshadowing.

Also, by becoming embroiled in what he does, an excellent villain is introduced, a man who is in every way Tarzan's antithesis. Where Tarzan combines all the best attributes of a "civilized" and "savage" man, the Russian spy Rokoff combines all the worst elements of civilization and savagery. Again, not politically correct, but compelling. (Also, given the time period, both books are surprisingly non-racist. One need only look at the sympathetic treatment of the African tribe Tarzan joins in this book to understand that, tho Tarzan doesn't end up "over" them as their chief.)

All in all, if one is curious about the "original" Tarzan but doesn't want to read the whole series, I think you can't go wrong reading the first couple of books in the series.(less)

I decided to re-read the Tarzan books I'd devoured as a teenager, to see if they still held up. I re-read the first book, Tarzan of the Apes, about an orphaned boy who grew up among the great apes, and was delighted to see that whatever maturity I had gained hadn't cost me the joy I'd experienced in that first book of the long series. For some reason, though, I didn't get around to the next book until now.

The Return of Tarzan was actually the first Tarzan book I ever read. It was a bit mystifying at the time, because it's a sequel that picks up where the first book ended, which means that it starts out in Paris where Tarzan goes by the name of Jean C. Tarzan and sips absinthe and wears white tie and is involved in intrigue with a Russian countess. Not exactly what I was expecting for my first experience with the Lord of the Jungle. (The book doesn't even get to the jungle until more than half way through.) As a result, this was always my least favorite Tarzan book as a kid, though it still compelled me to give probably the most breathless and persuasive book report ever heard at Thomas J. Rusk Junior High School.

Burrough's Tarzan books are just plain wonderful adventures. I don't read stuff like that much anymore, but re-reading The Return of Tarzan makes me realize that I still hunger for it a little. The books are dated, but only (primarily) in the style of language and in a paternalistic racial viewpoint. Burroughs makes far too much use of coincidence (in the first two books, no fewer than four shipwrecks strand passengers on one five-mile stretch of African coast, and the passengers of all the wrecks are intricately connected with one another). But nevertheless, what Burroughs captures is the absolute essence of adventure viewed through a near-Victorian worldview. I don't recommend starting the Tarzan novels with The Return of Tarzan, as I did, but it's hard for me to imagine a boy of 13 not still being caught by the magic of these tales. And I don't think it will be 25 years before I revisit the next in the series.(less)

I've always known that the Tarzan series evolved into an outlandish, serial-like collection, but I didn't realize how quickly it escalated. We're only in the second book of the series and already our endearing, primal, jungle god is embroiled in espionage and smoking cigarettes. Burroughs could have devoted an entire novel to Tarzan's struggle of assimilation, while wrapping up some important loose-ends from the first book without resorting to theatrics.
