About A Princess of Mars: The Original 1917 Science Fantasy Classic

Unique Elements Author Biography The Unmissable Science Fantasy Classic by Edgar Rice Burroughs A Princess of Mars by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs is a book of science fantasy first published in 1917 in the US. A celebrated science fantasy classic, filled with thrilling adventure and daring feats. Excerpt ‘My attention was quickly riveted by a large red star close to the distant horizon. As I gazed upon it I felt a spell of overpowering fascination—it was Mars, the god of war, and for me, the fighting man, it had always held the power of irresistible enchantment. As I gazed at it on that far-gone night it seemed to call across the unthinkable void, to lure me to it, to draw me as the lodestone attracts a particle of iron.’ Synopsis The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A thrilling sci-fi classic, and an unmissable read.
