Tarzan out of his cave and into the Quai Branly museum

• 16 Jul, 2009 • Catégorie: Culture •

His scream is heard kilometers away, he wears a leopard skin underwear and uses an unusual mean of transportation. Tarzan, icon of the African jungle, is soon a centenarian hero. After being all this time in books, cartoons and movies, here he is now at the Quai Branly museum where an important exhibition bares his name. Handsome, strong, naïve and timid, the man draws attention and sparks off tenderness. His creator, Edgar Rice Burroughs has never been to Africa, but his inspiration came from the Jungle Book and King Kong. Behind the comic book and movie character is a story of a fragile human being who finds himself at the border of primitive life and civilization. He is the representative of a whole continent and an unknown era, a way to remind us that there was a life before ours.
