John Carter 1 : A Princess of Mars (Annotated) oleh Edgar Rice Burroughs

This version include a literary review at the end of chapter. John Carter, a Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, goes prospecting in Arizona immediately after the war's end. Having struck a rich vein of gold, he runs afoul of the Apaches – the native tribes. While attempting to evade pursuit by hiding in a sacred cave, he is mysteriously transported to Mars, called "Barsoom" by its inhabitants. He soon falls in with a nomadic tribe of Green Martians or Tharks, as the planet's warlike, six-limbed, green-skinned inhabitants are known. Carter finds that he has great strength and superhuman agility in this new environment as a result of its lesser gravity and lower atmospheric pressure.
