Editor’s note American pulp pioneer who created two of the twentieth century’s most famous heroes in 1912. Tarzan of the Apes is the son of an English lord raised by apes in the African jungle, and A Princess of Mars sends John Carter, a Civil War veteran, to a dying Mars of four-armed green warriors and the princess Dejah Thoris. Breathless adventure that inspired generations of science fiction writers, though its racial and colonial attitudes have aged badly. Here the Mars sequels rate higher than the first book. Read Barsoom in order.
