Tarzan is a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs who first appeared in 1912 in the
novel Tarzan of the Apes (or Si Tarzan ng mga Matsing ), followed by twenty-three sequel novels.
He is the son of a Lord and a Lady who were stranded in the West African sea due to the rebellion

Mangani , a species of brave gorillas unknown to science. Kala is his guerilla mother. Tarzan (or
White-skin) is his native name, while John Clayton Greystoke (Lord Greystoke) is his name in
English ( the title of the person Lord Greystoke ; English: Lord Greystoke) according to Burroughs;
but later became the Earl of Greystoke from unofficial references, such as the movie Greystoke -
The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (Greystoke -Ang Alamat ni Tarzan, Pangunin ng mga
Matsing; 1984). During his youth, he met Jane Porter who was also stranded, along with his
father and several other companions, in the same place on the coast of Africa where his human
parents were stranded Tarzan almost twenty years ago. When Jane Porter returns to America ,
Tarzan leaves the jungle to find Jane, his one and only love. In subsequent books about the two,
Tarzan and Jane get married and live together for some time in England . They had a son, Jack
who used a nickname: Korak the Slayer. Tarzan despised civilization 's hypocrisy so he and Jane
returned to Africa where they still live as immortals.
