About the book: 2016 / Interplanetary dangers and incredible adventures on the red planet await you on the pages of the famous trilogy of science fiction novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs! Burroughs is not without reason considered the founder of modern science fiction. His John Carter novels, published in the 1920s, instantly gained enormous popularity and paved the way for a new genre - the genre of adventure fiction. John Carter, a cavalry officer from Virginia, is magically transported to Mars, where there is a constant struggle between different races, living on the red planet. Thanks to his courage, determination and resourcefulness, Carter manages not only to survive, but also to occupy a high position in a Martian society torn apart by intrigue. His main reward is the love of the beautiful Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, whom he frees from slavery. His many exploits in battles with warlike tribes, air pirates and other forces of Martian evil made John Carter the most popular centenarian of fantasy literature. In this book, Burroughs' novels are published for the first time in a new, more complete and accurate translation, with magnificent illustrations by Thomas Yates!
