Princess of Mars

"A Princess of Mars is singularly important . . . in that it innovated the grammar for the American version of the lost world romance."-Junot Díaz

When Civil War veteran John Carter is transported to a different planet, known as Barsoom to its inhabitants, he is soon taken prisoner. Alone in an unknown place, Carter is soon faced with unexpected feelings for an imprisoned princess and danger to his own life as he knew it.

This futuristic tale of unceasing drama, conflict, and romance has influenced fantasy and science fiction writing for more than a century, inspiring the likes of Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, H. P. Lovecraft and James Cameron.
