The legend of Tarzan, a cultural icon

Christopher Lambert in Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan, Lord Of The Apes (1984).

Since Tarzan appeared in the pages of the magazine Tarzan Of The Apes in 1912, the fictional character has gone on to entertain readers in a series of 25 adventure novels (from 1913 to 1965) – all written by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs.

With over 25 million copies sold in books (which have been translated in 56 languages), the king of the jungle is undoubtedly a cultural icon that has survived the test of time.
