... but he is pulpy in all the good ways - bold, courageous, chivalrous, and more than a little lucky. The story that began in A Princess of Mars is well worth following through the series, even if this book seems a little disjointed. ... assassins and the rival mad scientist use their own interpanetary ship to kidnap John Carter's great love Dejah Thoris (the Princess of Mars from book one in the series) and whisk her away to the martian moon Thuria. John Carter immediately flies back to Helium to prevent the kidnapping, arrives ... ... and quite a number of his stories are definitely sci fi.
See, I don't think of stuff like The Martian Chronicles, A Princess of Mars, An Alien Heat or even Star Wars as 'sci-fi'. But then I don't know what you would call them. This isn't a very reasoned position for me, just a gut ... ... and quite a number of his stories are definitely sci fi.

I thought Edgar Rice Burroughs created the term 'scientific romance' to describe A Princess of Mars. Of course as usual I can't remember my source and am probably completely wrong. ... i thought some tough love was required there.
Let's see:
Catseye
Day of the Triffids

... A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs ... indicated that they like Isaac Asimov, I'd point them towards Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom" novels, starting with A Princess of Mars. If someone had already read the Sherlock Holmes novels, I'd point them towards J.S. Fletcher. An interesting book about a pair of British ... It's actually Kerry Conran, not Kevin. And he was attached to A Princess of Mars after Sky Captain. But then he unattached himself, or was dropped, and hasn't been seen since... Oh and yes, Sky Captain was a great film. Audiences didn't get it because it was too close to its inspirations - not ... ... in that light has to be seen as a positive response to a scientific and technological worldview.
> 28 Have you ever read A Princess of Mars? Find me the bit of science in that which is "theoretically scientifically possible, or thought to be at the time it was written".
Again, most people ... I remember as a young whippersnapper my father's father had A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, and The Warlord of Mars by Burroughs on his bookshelves. Next to these were several Tom Swift books by Victor Appleton. These are the first Sci-Fi I remember. My father and his brother ... ... I don't see in this day and age how a movie like John Carter of Mars can be good.
Don't get me wrong, I loved A Princess of Mars. But with focus groups, studio interference, the need to market it toward families/kids so they can sell toys and partner up with McDonald's... train ... ...
technical accuracy a problem - I lump The Martian Chronicles (and really, any Ray Bradbury 'sci-fi') in with A Princess of Mars or Star Wars. Bradbury isn't Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke. He is a fantasy writer who named one of his fantasy kingdoms 'Mars'. His writing ... ... Kickaha from Maker Of Universes, Andrew Wiggen from Ender's Game, Ged from Wizard of Earthsea, John Carter from A Princess of Mars, V.I. Warshawski from Deadlock, Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Aragorn, Mad-eye Moody.... too many to name, i'm ... I think Edgar Rice Burroughs does a great job with this in his Barsoom series, which begins with A Princess of Mars. Dune by Frank Herbert is another example of epic worldbuilding. Michael Moorcock's Elric series has a pretty well fleshed out world, as well.
Touchstones seem to ... ... truly literary works stand the test of time, I think of Edgar Rice Burroughs, who produced a whole string of works like Princess of Mars which are still read today :-D
For a long time I had the poster Frank Frazetta did for A Princess of Mars (mmm, good old ERB).

My favorites have evolved:
1980: book-A Princess of Mars author-Edgar Rice Burroughs
1984: book-The Moon is a Harsh Mistress author-Larry Niven
1990: book-Protector author-Robert Heinlein
1995: book-The Number of the Beast author- Greg Benford ... ... purchased

156. An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore - library; personal copy later received as a gift ... to get involved in anything too intense leading up to the big Harry Potter launch this Friday.
I've also begun rereading A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs as an e-book. I normally read heavier fare online, but I figured I'd go for something fun instead. It's made a nice break, ... A Princess of Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Page of the Duke of Savoy Alexandre Dumas
The Household Papers of Henry Percy, Ninth Earl of Northumberland (1564-1632) G. R. Batho (ed.)
Claudius the God and his wife Messalina: The Troublesome Reign of Tiberius Claudius, Emperor ... ... the Unbeliever this is done by actually traveling to an alternate world. Sometimes in books like Harry Potter or The Princess of Mars it is done by revealing a world that is otherwise hidden. So what are some of your favorite books of this genre? Great list! Good to see Matheson's I Am Legend and Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle on it. A Princess of Mars, as well. Off the top of my head, I would probably only add The Survivors a/k/a Space Prison by Tom Godwin. Här var det tempo. Doctorov är noterad, själv rekommenderar jag A Princess Of Mars eller för all del det mesta av Edgar Rice Burroughs.
För att vara lite tråkig: Kommer ni andra åt gruppinställningarna eller är de bundna till mig?
