  Accused of dressing as a boy to study in the prestigious galleries of eighteenth-century Italy, child prodigy Angelica Kauffman has set high goals for herself. She is determined to become a history painter, a career off-limits to women. To ensure her success, she has vowed never to marry. 
   
   
   
  When a new patron invites her to London, Angelica befriends famous artists, paints portraits of Queen Charlotte and other royalty, and becomes a founding member of the Royal Academy. While still in London, an alluring but mysterious Swedish count makes her an offer that may be too tempting to resist. Then, upon returning to Italy, she meets Wolfgang von Goethe. 
   
   
   
  Time and time again, Angelica faces the insurmountable obstacles and great personal sacrifices that come with being an independent woman. The vows she makes, big and small, are repeatedly challenged. Will she break free from the traditional male/female binary and the many oppressive social dictates of her time and learn to "paint with her soul" . . . or is a vow of a different sort necessary if she is to answer the deepest call of her heart?

  Jungle Tales of Tarzan is a collection of short stories about Tarzan's experiences growing up in the jungle. Though each story stands on its own, together they form a loose narrative. The stories explore Tarzan's development from a young boy into a young man and how those experiences are similar and different to the experiences of the apes he grows up with. These stories were originally published in Blue Book magazine before being collected into a book in 1919. Chronologically, these stories occur during Chapter 11 of Tarzan of the Apes , after the death of his ape foster mother and before he encounters anyone from England. Edgar Rice Burroughs (died 1950) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. Adventure literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries captured the imagination of a reading public hungry for tales of exploration, danger, and heroism. Jungle Tales Of Tarzan belongs to this tradition of gripping narratives that transported readers beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives.
