Description
About the Book
The first of Edgar Rice Burroughs' wildly popular Martian tales, this edition is set from the original 1912 text and includes a Reading Group Guide.Book Synopsis
Virginia gentleman John Carter, unexpectedly transported to the perilous red planet, Mars, finds himself captured by the loveless Green Men of Thark. As Carter struggles to win his freedom and the affections of fellow captive Dejah Thoris, princess of the rival clan of Helium the fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance: warring Martian tribes collide and the beleaguered Atmosphere Factory grinds to a suffocating halt. Ray Bradbury, reminiscing on the enduring thrill of Burroughs s Martian adventure, writes, I stood on the lawns of summer, raised my hands, and cried for Mars, like John Carter, to take me home. I flew to the Red Planet and never returned. "Review Quotes
"Might it really be possible--in fact and not in fancy--to venture with John Carter to the Kingdom of Helium on the planet Mars?"--Carl Sagan
