타잔, 길들지 않은 자 in short

Tarzan the Untamed follows a hero who thinks everything he holds dear has been taken from him. Lord Greystoke finds his farm burned and his wife seemingly dead, so he turns into the ape-man again and hunts the German officers behind the raid. A woman he believes to be a German spy keeps crossing his path, and each time mercy checks his vengeance.

Key idea 1 · free to read
A burned farm turns a lord into a hunter
In the fall of 1914, Captain Fritz Schneider leads a German company through British East Africa, driving chained guides ahead with bayonets. He finds the farm of Lord Greystoke and learns that Tarzan is away. Lady Jane welcomes the officers kindly, because she does not know that Britain and Germany are at war.
Tarzan hears the news in Nairobi and races home to carry his wife to safety. When he reaches the plain, a thin line of smoke tells him he is too late.
Wasimbu, son of the faithful Muviro, hangs crucified on the living room wall, and other Waziri warriors lie dead around him. Behind a closed door Tarzan finds a body burned beyond recognition, wearing the rings of his wife. He buries the dead and swears to fight all Germans until death. Civilization, he decides, was only a thin coat he wore for Jane.
Grief turns Tarzan back into a hunter.

Characters, plot and themes

Main characters

Tarzan Lord Greystoke, raised by apes, who throws off his civilized life to hunt the German officers he blames for his wife's death.
Bertha Kircher A brave young woman Tarzan believes to be a German spy, who keeps crossing his path and saving his life.
Lieutenant Smith-Oldwick A cheerful British flier who loses his plane, faces cannibals and lions, and falls hopelessly in love with Bertha.
Numa A great black-maned lion whom Tarzan feeds and frees from a pit, and who repays his kindness again and again.
Captain Fritz Schneider A brutal German officer who leads the raid on Tarzan's farm and carries off a diamond locket as loot.
Usanga A cruel black sergeant who deserts the German army with his men and dreams of flying away to be a king.
Zu-tag A young bull ape, braver and sharper than his tribe, who rouses his friends to save Tarzan from the Wamabo stake.
Otobu A black slave in the hidden city who wants to see his homeland again and guides Tarzan's party to the gate.

How it ends (spoiler)

Tarzan learns the truth when Colonel Capell shows him the papers Bertha carried. She is the Honorable Patricia Canby, a British intelligence agent, not a German spy. Schneider's diary says he burned a dead black woman's body in Jane's room, so Jane is alive and held for the German High Command. Tarzan admits how terribly he has wronged Miss Canby and agrees to return with Capell to seek his wife and make things right.
