Felifax the Tiger Man Paul Feval Fils

In Felifax, originally published in 1929, the son of Paul Féval took on the nearly impossible task of trying to bring together two archetypes: Sir Eric Palmer, the great British detective, a successor of Sherlock Holmes, against jungle-born Felifax, a hybrid tiger-man, a literary clone of Tarzan, in the hope of generating a singular synergy. Unlike the vast majority of Tarzan imitations, Felifax is not a feral child but something brand new and ground-breaking: the result of a biological experiment, thus forging a thematic link with comic book superheroes such as The Incredible Hulk.
