i read the first tarzan book a while back and it's got an interesting take on clothes, but i found it pretty outweighed by its existence as a weird time capsule of colonialist thinking. foundational for the genre though, and it goes by quick

It's very interesting in it's way of capturing the colonialist ways of thinking.
