The Beasts of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs ~ Full Audiobook [adventure]

Think you know Tarzan from Disney's 1999 animated masterpiece that won an Academy Award and grossed millions worldwide? This audiobook takes you deeper into the savage heart of the legend—the raw, primal adventure that inspired every Disney frame, every Phil Collins anthem, every vine-swinging moment you've ever loved.

After Tarzan and Jane settle into married life with their infant son Jack, their enemies escape from prison and unleash an elaborate revenge plot—kidnapping their child and exiling Tarzan on a remote jungle island. Tarzan must win the help of Sheeta, a vicious panther, a tribe of great apes led by the intelligent Akut, and native warrior Mugambi to mount an impossible rescue mission across Africa.

This is Tarzan assembling his own version of The Avengers—except his team is built from the beasts of the wild.

Tarzan has been adapted for film more times than any book character except Dracula, with dozens of movies spanning from silent films to modern blockbusters, including Disney's Broadway musical and theme park attractions. Why? Because Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote with cinematic genius. This third Tarzan novel was originally published in 1914 and features relentlessly fast-paced action with the kind of florid style and cliffhangers you'd expect from a blockbuster.

Experience the panther battles, the tribal warfare, the daring escapes, the deadly pursuits through uncharted wilderness. This is the story that taught Disney how to blend heart-pounding adventure with emotional stakes—a desperate father fighting impossible odds to save his family.

Because beneath the savage action beats the same heart as Disney's classic: the power of loyalty, the bond between man and nature, the lengths we go to for family. Tarzan navigates both the wilds of Africa and the treachery of human foes, reconnecting with his primal instincts while showcasing the enduring struggle between his civilized existence and his wild heritage.

Whether you grew up humming "Two Worlds" or discovering Tarzan through Alexander Skarsgård's 2016 film, this audiobook delivers the untamed adventure that continues inspiring Hollywood. Press play and experience why Disney chose this legend—and why audiences have been captivated for over a century.

The original Disney magic starts in the jungle. And it starts here.
