nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the spring of 1866, John Carter, a former Confederate captain prospecting for gold in the Arizona hills, slips into a cave and is overcome by mysterious vapors. He awakes to find himself naked, alone, and forty-eight million miles from Earth-a castaway on the dying planet Mars. Taken prisoner by the Tharks, a fierce nomadic tribe of sixlimbed, olive-green giants, he wins respect as a cunning and able warrior, who by grace of Mars's weak gravity possesses the agility of a superman. He also wins the heart of fellow-prisoner Dejah Thoris, the alluring, red-skinned Princess of Helium, whose people he swears to defend against their grasping and ancient enemy, the city-state of Zodanga.

About this title

Synopsis

A science-fiction classic about one mans remarkable journey to the planet Mars and the adventures that follow.

Soldier turned gold prospector John Carter is hiding out in a cave when he is mysteriously teleported to the planet Mars.

On Mars, Carter falls in with the Tharks; a race of fierce, nomadic, four-armed natives. The weaker gravity on Marss surface gives Carter superhuman strength and agility, and with his newfound martial prowess, he earns the respect of the Tharks, rising quickly through their ranks. He also meets Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Helium, and grudging respect soon develops into mutual attraction. But war is brewing between Helium and the kingdom of Zodanga. And John Carter must lead the Tharks to the aid of Helium and rescue his beloved princess. One of the first science-fiction/fantasy novels written in the English language, A Princess of Mars remains as captivating a read today as it was when first published.
