Tarzan's courtship of the female ape Teeka ends in failure when her preference turns to their mutual friend, the male ape Taug. Tarzan wrestles with his humanness versus his ape-ness. The allusion to Helen of Troy enriches the story, making Tarzan and Taug's fight over Teeka take on symbolic proportions. Stan Galloway writes: "when Burroughs chooses to name Helen as an objective correlative for Teeka, he expects both literal and emotional connections to occur." Tarzan's final claim of the story - "Tarzan is a man. He will go alone." - echoes the plight of Adam in the Garden of Eden.

Alone and frightened at first, he would soon meet up with his new best friend, a large white dog named Sheva, who, over the next several years, would show Derrick beyond the shadow of a doubt that guardian angels really do exist, and at times, have paws instead of wings.

These and dozens more characters run, hop, slither, and fly through captivating storylines.

Los seres humanos —piensa el gato— tienen una irremediable tendencia a entender las cosas al revés. Por ejemplo, si ven un libro que se titula "Lo que aprendemos de los gatos", probablemente creerán que trata de lo que los humanos pueden aprender acerca de los gatos, para conocerlos mejor (cosa que, dicho sea de paso, tampoco estaría de más); sin embargo, para cualquiera que sea capaz de pensar con claridad, resulta evidente que "Lo que aprendemos de los gatos" significa otra cosa.

Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich – und am Ende ist einfach Schluss. Schluss mit lustig, Schluss mit dem alltäglichen Wahnsinn, Schluss mit dem Menschen.
