Tarzan and the Leopard Men
The steel-clawed Leopard Men were looking for victims for their savage rites. The secret cult struck terror in the hearts of all the villagers. Only Orando of the Utengi dared to declare war on them. And with Orando went Tarzan of the Apes -- but a strangely changed Tarzan, who now believed that he was Muzimo, the spirit or demon who had been Orando's ancestor.

"necessity overcomes obstacles, as it mothers inventions."
Tarzan and the Leopard Men is more of a repeat of several sub plots of different books in the series. Only the appearance of leopard men seemed original, but even that carried some similarity to that of ant-men book's story.
However, the last quarter of the book picked up the pace really well and the things became more entertaining, ending with no loose ends.
"It is always thus: the younger men for war, the older for peace."
"All things die."

Lapsuuden suosikkisarjan läpiluku etenee hitaasti mutta varmasti.
Edgar Rice Burroughsin "Tarzan ja leopardimiehet" (Kauppakirjapaino, 1974) on järjestyksessään kahdeksastoista Tarzan-seikkailu, jossa sankarimme joutuu ottamaan mittaa ihmissyöntiä ja "kammottavia salamenoja" harrastavasta järjestöstä.
Seikkailussa kierrätetään aikaisemmista tarinoista tuttuja juonikuvioita. Tarzan kärsii ties monettako kerran päähän kohdistuneesta iskusta aiheutuneesta muistinmenetyksestä, ja totta kai viidakkoon on päätynyt myös kaunis valkoinen nainen, joka saa miesten himot hyrräämään ylikierroksilla. Loppupuolella kirjaa tyttö toteaakin paljonpuhuvasti:
Minut on ryöstetty viime aikoina niin monta kertaa, että olen oppinut suorastaan odottamaan sitä. (s. 218).
Burroughs ei ole ehkä muutenkaan kaikkein parhaassa vireessään, ja aina hetkellisesti vaikutti siltä, ettei kirjailija ole kamalasti jaksanut syventyä omien henkilöittensä motiiveihin:
Lulimilla oli omat syynsä haluta valkoista papitarta. Miten tämä oli edullista hänelle, ei ollut täysin selvää, mutta pappien ajatuksenjuoksu käy usein yli maallikkojen ymmärryksen. Ehkä joku Hollywoodin suhdetoimintamies olisi pitänyt hänen syitään aivan selvinä, mutta oli miten oli.... (s. 88)
Luonnollisesti kirjassa on mukana myös aika suorasukaista rasismia ja muuta sen sellaista, mutta välillä kirjailija antaa ymmärtää, ettei ns. värillä ole niin väliä:
Siten tytön kohtalon ratkaisi turmeltuneiden maallisten ja hengellisten poliitikkojen ahneus, josta voimme aavistaa, että pimeän keski-Afrikan mustat ovat eräissä suhteissa yhtä sivistyneitä kuin me.

Tarzan and the Leopard Men is the eighteenth book of the Edgar Rice Burroughs' (ERB) Tarzan book series of twenty-four official books. There are two other youth books involving the Tarzan Twins that are canon, but in a distinct continuity with an alternate audience. (Tarzan is so prominent that every medium has representations of the characters and culture.)
In the novel, there is very little that is original, other than in the distinct method the typical elements are presented. The story tropes that ERB relied on so often of amnesia (third time that Tarzan has suffered some head trauma), a little-known African tribe, culture, world (probably the fifteenth time), other characters getting lost in the jungle with Tarzan coming to the rescue (easily seventh time), with others, but no sense spoiling the fun.
Of course, there are racial overtones throughout. The savages are black, and some characters are referred to by using the term negroes or another n-word. The explorers are white, colonizers, and sometimes explicitly racist. The Leopard Men are a secret cult of violent cannibals. Tarzan despite his mental issues feels responsibility to rescue the white explorers, and punish the black, except for the Waziri who have a special bond with Tarzan.
I find my objectivity questionable. However, I read these books as a set when I was younger and thought I should reread them at least one more time before I sleep the sleep of forever. I still love them although I have very little discomfort communicating the weaknesses of the narrative. Tarzan is escapist fun. And ERB knows it.

Poor Tarzan is going to end up with Repetitive Head Injury Syndrome if this keeps up. This time around he is caught up in a storm and is hit in the head by a tree branch. He is rescued by Orando of the Utengi tribe who decides that this strange white man is his Muzimo, the spirit of Orando's ancestor. He further decides that little Nkima is the spirit of his murdered friend, Nyamwegi. Tarzan, having lost his memory for the 100th time or so, knows no different so he joins forces with Orando in his quest for vengeance against the cult of the Leopard Men. This group of savages is drawn from many tribes and practices ritualistic cannibalism.
Meanwhile, an ivory poacher (grrr), nicknamed Old Timer, gets caught up with a platinum blonde girl who has been stranded in the jungle by her safari. She is looking for some guy named Jerry Jerome but Old Timer doesn't know him. Before he can fall in love with the girl she gets kidnapped by the Leopard Men and taken to their temple as their new priestess. Old Timer, who has lust in his heart, heads off looking for her. Of course everyone crosses paths and rescues go awry more than once. I wasn't fond of Old Timer, I thought the way he lusted after the random girl he meets in the jungle was creepy at best and predatory at worst but she was no better with her temper and irrational behavior. I think they pretty much deserved each other. Maybe Edgar Rice Burroughs was trying to move with the times and be a little less noble and a little more realistic, but it didn't work for me.
Eventually Tarzan recovers his memory after another blow to the head - a tried and true remedy for head injury, try it some time - and realizes that he can't just leave the white folks in danger and comes through. The girl, whose name I forget, falls in love with Old Timer, whose name is Hi or something silly like that, and finds Jerry and everyone lives happily ever after - especially Nkima who gets to stop being Nyamwegi and gets Tarzan back. Nkima is so much better than Cheetah. Why the movies always used a chimp instead of a cute monkey I'll never understand. But then, these are the same kind of people who cast Elmo as Tarzan so what do you expect?
This is vintage Tarzan with the amnesia, mistaken identity, whites in peril, and Tarzan coming through at the end. It's silly and ridiculous but at least there is no weird lost civilization, which is a plus in my book. I didn't like the white folks in this one but I did like Orando and his tribe a lot so it was a wash. I enjoyed this one as much as some of the early books and give it a solid 4 1/2 stars.

Another winner in the Tarzan series. ERB writes Tarzan as a force of nature, with behaiviorisms and character traits far more impressive than most fictional persona. This book, like all other Tarzan novels, is carefully crafted, orchestrated, and structured to deliver a captivating page-turner.
What continually amazes me with the Tarzan series is how ERB can introduce the reader to a new cast of supporting characters in every book, and within one page or less, I'm convinced of how believable they are. When considering the age of these novels, it's obvious ERB was ahead of his time. No incarnation of Tarzan that has followed the novels has ever captured the rich visceral impression of the Lord of the Jungle as depicted here. Perhaps this is one reason the entertainment industry will continually revisit Tarzan in multiple formats - live action film, animation, comic books, television, etc.
With source material like this, creative types will keep trying to narrate Tarzan in other mediums, aiming for the same level of immmortality and satisfaction that Burroughs achieved.

Edgar Rice Burroughs incorporates an actual secret African Cult into an inter-village conflict and throws in a woman looking for her lost brother wrongfully accused of murder, an ivory poacher, and of course Tarzan who suffers a bout of amnesia and is convinced that he is the spirit of a dead African warrior--and don't forget the little monkey Nkima, who is quite a coward unless he can stand on Tarzan's shoulder, in which case he will hurl insults and become quite bloodthirsty.

Yowza wowza this was one racist book, and boy was it also extremely misogynistic. I can't possibly explain it all in a short review because there was so much, and perhaps even more revealingly, it was all taken as a given. The inferiority of the "blacks" that the white protagonists interacted with wasn't even intended as an insult, it was simply a given, a relevant fact needed to understand the events of the story. There's also the constant tug-of-war taking place within the mind of a *protagonist* (not Tarzan, another guy) about whether or not he should rape this lady he meets, immediately dislikes and promptly risks his life to save (motivated by a combination of race loyalty and sexual fervor). Apparently we the audience are met to be sympathetic to his urges, his sense of entitlement to her body in return for him saving her, but that's a theme that holds up a whole lot less 80 years after its original publication.
Overall the story wasn't actually terrible, but it also wasn't particularly gripping. It reads as the Sue Grafton or James Patterson of its time, the perennial low-thought thriller that were pumped out constantly because, for whatever reason, there was always a market for this kind of stuff. I wouldn't recommend this book, unless you want to read it just for a time capsule of a society that was pretty icky.

Yes, I’m shocked as you are, I’ve given a Tarzan Novel a rare 3 Star Rating. For all purposes for Burroughs this was a wonderful rip roaring adventure.
Tarzan comes to the assistance of a local tribe against a group of cannibals - The Leopard Men. This story flows well, action, adventure, romance. In places, the story was quite dark.
HOWEVER, yes, there is a “However”. Yet again, we see a rehash of previous books, Tarzan, fell from a tree (twice, the second time he got captured, like in a previous book), and, lost his memory....... REALLY, give us something new please. We also had two “whites”, we don’t know there actual names and only briefly mentioned once. This detracts from the story. These are just minor issues, but still. Burroughs did do a better job at “summing up”, albeit slightly.

Tarzan outdoes himself in this one. He masquerades as an ancestral spirit and helps take down a cult, despite amnesia and a head injury.
Burroughs is still woefully ignorant of animal behaviour: His Mangani are incapable of complex tasks, despite being identified as hominids rather than known species of great apes. It's lucky he was not a contemporary of Jane Goodall, or he'd have them building fires and picking locks.

A great Tarzan novel. A very gritty jungle tale. Not a lot of weirdness. A strange cult of Leopard men is terrorizing the jungle. They make for an interesting threat and a great group of bad guys. The book does lose a bit of steam toward the end.

There he goes again. Barely 10 pages into the story and Tarzan hits his head and loses his memory.
Burroughs has a very small arsenal of plot points, repeating the same things over and over, just changing a few details. Like here is another stupid white person on safari getting caught up in an argument with greedy and/or frightened natives being found by a previously unknown or dangerous tribe.
There’s always several clueless groups running around getting into trouble. Here we have Kali Bwana, a young white woman who sets off alone with just her native safari thinking she can handle anything. Then there’s Orando, the son of the Tumbai’s chief who finds the trapped and confused Tarzan. There’s also two English ivory poachers with very bad luck. And of course the mysterious and deadly leopard men.
And what are the odds that out of all the trees in the area that the one that Tarzan is under gets uprooted in the storm?
Footnote: 1) I can’t decide if Nkima is cute or annoying. Probably both.
Fave scenes: the Kali Bwana hunting & preparing the boar, Ubooga’s threat, Tarzan trapped in the tree, Ga-yat bringing help to Tarzan.

This is about the 7th or 8th Tarzan book I've read in recent months and basically they're all the same story told over again with a different cast of supporting characters. And I think that's what I like about them. You already know what's going to happen and who's who but its still a fun ride. The first half of the book Tarzan is always suffering from amnesia from being hit in the head from some natural disaster but even though he doesn't know who he is he never loses any of the qualities that make him Tarzan. And I even find myself referring to a dictionary pretty often because he uses a lot of adjectives that you don't hear every day. And sometimes when you do read the definition you find out that Edgar Rice Burroughs maybe didn't even know himself what the word he used meant . All in all these Tarzan adventure stories are a guilty pleasure of mine.

In a familiar Burroughs trope, Tarzan suffers amnesia yet again, this time believing himself to be spiritual guardian angel of a friendly native at war against a mysterious and deadly cult of Leopard Men. Throw in a couple of white elephant poachers that Tarzan must rescue from cannibals (because they are white), and a beautiful young white girl (it is Burroughs himself who continues to emphasize their race) wandering through the African jungle hoping to run into her long-lost brother, and you have the makings of another Convergence of storylines just in time for book’s end.
Still, the action was fast-paced, never letting up for a moment, and before you know it, you’ve read the book in one sitting.

Burroughs wrote a book of intrigue, action, adventure, and romance. There was a lot written in this short book. The novel explores the inner workings of several fictional tribes in Africa and convincingly conveys how many local tribal societies form an outlier society that runs the politics of the tribes in close proximity to the leopard god. Tarzan is enlisted to help work through the inner workings of these politics and set the upside-down world right while still caring for two groups of lost Europeans who somehow end up in the middle of it all. I have to admit, that so far, this is my favorite Tarzan read. There are still six more to read, but I doubt Burroughs will be able to top this one. I hope he proves me wrong.
January 12, 2021
No lost cities or civilizations in this one but you do get great apes, pygmies, cannibals, Tarzan killing beasts and natives, Tarzan getting amnesia (yet again), Tarzan falling out of a tree and getting captured (yet again), the white "heroine" almost getting raped (on more than a few occasions), Tarzan recovering his memory when struck on the head (yet again), and a typical Burroughs racist, misogynistic plodding plot. Alas, there is no Jane (yet again). All-in all an acceptable read to help pass the time while you are under quarantine due to this damn COVID pandemic.

Tarzan has been pinned under a tree that fell on him in a violent tropical storm and rendered him amnesiac. He is found and mistaken for a god by Orando of the Utengi, who calls him Muzimo and hopes that he will help the Utengi prevail against the Leopard men, a secret society drawn from many tribes and practices gruesome rites.

How Many Times Can This Guy Get Hit on the Head and Survive?
Tarzan has been disabled by a blow to the skull, sometimes causing amnesia, so many times in these books that I marvel. Anyone else would end up with a mental deficiency.
As in all the books, coincidence plays a huge part in the plot, and the ending, although satisfying, comes too quickly.

Wasn't bad but mostly seemed to be just a lot of running around, being captured, being rescued, being captured again, etc. Typical weak book in a long series syndrome. Tarzan was more of a secondary character in this one. Would not bother to read again.
June 22, 2023
More fun on the dark continent. While Burroughs fiction definitely reflects the attitudes and mores of the time it was written, his intricate, almost Shakespearean plots, keep the reader engaged and eager to find out how things will get resolved.

More light reading

A worthwhile read

Ridiculous story, but kinda fun. Racist and misogynistic, quite transparently so.

The leopard men start war with another tribe and Tarzan goes along.

Very typical Tarzan book, 18 books in though, can't give up now. Quick read and interesting not giving the characters names until the last couple of pages.

This is a good later book.

Ничего нового. Все сюжеты неоднократно использовались уже в других произведениях о Тарзане.

In which Tarzan hits his head and loses him memory again (how has he not developed serious CTE at this point) and finds himself crossing paths with jungle assassins.
Wasn’t as big on this one.

"What do young men know of war? They think only of victory. They forget defeat."
Though the Leopard Men are certainly interesting, but just coming off Tarzan and the Lion Man it's a little repetitive: savages, cats, lost groups of people and cults. Yada yada.
Honestly, my biggest takeaway from this, is that what you should worry about the MOST in the African jungle isn't cannibals, lions, poisoned arrows, or leopards. It's literally amnesia. This is AT LEAST the fourth time Tarzan has been hit on the head and suffered a loss of memory. And not like, "I've lost a few days or a few hours" memory loss, that situations of great stress and injuries might bring on (IE car crashes). But full on "I don't know my name, how did I get here" memory loss.

If you're reading the Tarzan books in order you'll be surprised to find this one doesn't feature two cities from a lost civilization engaged in endless war with each other, instead you get the cult of Leopard men a genuine historical African secret society and a tribe of Pygmies. Unfortunately Burroughs handles the African natives in a patronising racist manor, of course they're all cannibals intent on eating or raping the books white blonde heroine. Tarzan himself isn't in it much either and when he is he spends the first half with amnesia... again.

I have read all 24 of the Tarzan books. Read dates are from the mid 1970s through 1982. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the Tarzan books. They made a great escape from high school and college. I still have all 24 books and they are at the top of my book shelf. I thought it was pretty neat to find the actual covers listed on Goodreads and there are no barcodes on the books, plus the cover price ranged from $1.50-1.95 for each book.
