Geocache Description:


Cachen er placeret i Lystskoven nær restaurant Sommerlyst. Der er legeplads hvor børnene kan lege Tarzan.

I cachen: Logbog og blyant.  

En spæd baby af aristokraten Lord Greystoke efterlades i junglen, hvor en gruppe menneskeaber adopterer ham og opdrager ham som en af deres egne. Med tiden vokser han op og bliver til Tarzan, junglens herre. Som våben har han kun en kniv og han bærer som lændeklæde et dyreskind. Serien fokuserer på ønsket om at vende tilbage til naturen.

 

Under både første og anden verdenskrig blev der skrevet romaner, hvor Tarzan optræder aktivt på engelsk/amerikansk side.

Serien er udgivet som tegneserie i flere versioner, de første var meget tro mod romanerne, men flere af de senere tegneseriehæfter indholder historier skrevet af andre forfattere. Der er også lavet en del filmatiseringer hvor udgaverne med Johnny Weismüller som Tarzan nok er den mest kendte.

English:

The Cache is in the forest near the restaurant "Sommerlyst". There is places for the children to play Tarzan.

In the cache: Logbook and pencil.

Tarzan is a fictional character, an archetypalferal child raised in the African jungles by the Mangani "great apes"; he later experiences civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer. Created by Edgar Rice Borroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes, and then in twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media, authorized and not.

As a young adult, Tarzan meets a young American woman, Jane Porter. She, her father, and others of their party are marooned at exactly the same spot where Tarzan's biological parents were twenty years earlier. When Jane returns to America, Tarzan leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In The Return of Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane marry. In later books he lives with her for a time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak ("the Killer"). Tarzan is contemptuous of the hypocrisy of civilization, and he and Jane return to Africa, making their home on an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzan's later adventures.

Burroughs created an extreme example of a hero figure largely unalloyed with character flaws or faults. He is described as being Caucasian, extremely athletic, tall, handsome, and tanned, with grey eyes and long black hair. Emotionally, he is courageous, loyal and steadfast. He is intelligent and learns new languages easily. He is presented as behaving ethically in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief, as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes, or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed. He is deeply in love with his wife and totally devoted to her; in numerous situations where other women express their attraction to him, Tarzan politely but firmly declines their attentions. When presented with a situation where a weaker individual or party is being preyed upon by a stronger foe, Tarzan invariably takes the side of the weaker party. In dealing with other men Tarzan is firm and forceful. With male friends he is reserved but deeply loyal and generous. As a host, he is likewise generous and gracious. As a leader, he commands devoted loyalty.

In keeping with these noble characteristics, Tarzan's philosophy embraces an extreme form of "return to nature". Although he is able to pass within society as a civilized individual, he prefers to "strip off the thin veneer of civilization", as Burroughs often puts it. His preferred dress is a knife and a loincloth of animal hide, his preferred abode is any convenient tree branch when he desires to sleep, and his favored food is raw meat, killed by himself; even better if he is able to bury it a week so that putrefaction has had a chance to tenderize it a bit.
