Résumé : "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a thrilling adventure set in the African jungle, where Tarzan, Lord Greystoke, embarks on a perilous journey to the lost city of Opar. The narrative begins with Lieutenant Albert Werper, a disgraced Belgian officer, who narrowly escapes punishment by joining the notorious Arab raider Achmet Zek. Werper's mission is to locate Tarzan's hidden treasure in Opar. Meanwhile, Tarzan, driven by the need to replenish his lost fortune, sets out with his loyal Waziri warriors to the same destination. As Tarzan navigates the dangers of the jungle, he is haunted by the ominous warning of a witch-doctor, foretelling peril ahead. Unbeknownst to Tarzan, Werper follows closely, driven by greed and fear of his master, Achmet Zek. Upon reaching Opar, Tarzan retrieves the gold, but an earthquake traps him inside the treasure vault. Werper, who has been shadowing Tarzan, finds himself in a similar predicament. As they both seek escape, Werper encounters the terrifying priests of Opar and is captured, only to be saved by the timely intervention of a lion. The story weaves themes of betrayal, survival, and the clash between civilization and the primal instincts of man, culminating in a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue.
