John Carter of Mars

Beschreibung

The book "John Carter of Mars" comprises two novelettes originally published in Amazing Stories pulp magazine: "John Carter and the Giant of Mars" was published in the January 1941 issue with the byline "Edgar Rice Burroughs". However, ERB had nothing to do with the writing of the story! It was written by his younger son, John Coleman Burroughs. In the February 1943 issue of Amazing Stories, "Skeleton Men of Jupiter" appeared, the first part of a 4-part novel. Unfortunately, due to World War II and the failing health of ERB, the remaining 3 stories were not written.

Autor

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
