Tarzan the Untamed Edgar Rice Burroughs - Tarzan the Untamed is a book by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the seventh in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was originally published as two separate stories serialized in different pulp magazines; "Tarzan the Untamed" (also known as "Tarzan and the Huns") in Redbook from March to August, 1919, and "Tarzan and the Valley of Luna" in All-Story Weekly from March to April 1920. The two stories were combined under the title of the first in the first book edition, published in 1920 by A. C. McClurg. In order of writing, the book follows Jungle Tales of Tarzan, a collection of short stories about the ape-man's youth. Chronologically, it follows Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar.

バローズが描く本作は、文明の仮面を剥ぎ取った「野性」の深淵に迫る傑作です。第一次世界大戦という狂気を背景に、最愛の妻を失い復讐の鬼と化すターザンの姿は、高潔な英雄像を超えた剥き出しの咆哮として、読者の魂を激しく揺さぶります。 映像化作品では肉体的な躍動が強調されますが、原作の真骨頂は彼の内面に渦巻く暗部や苦悩を精緻に描く心理描写にあります。文字でしか到達できない圧倒的な緊張感と、映像が補完するダイナミズムを往復することで、私たちは文明が忘れ去った「生」の本質を、より多層的に目撃できるのです。
