Reseña: "A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by
American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his
Barsoom series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the
novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century
pulp fiction. It is also a instance of the planetary
romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly
popular in the decades following its publication. The
story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a
harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based
on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose
ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early
20th centuries. The Barsoom series inspired a number of
well-known 20th-century science fiction writers,
including Jack Vance, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke,
Robert A. Heinlein, and John Norman. The series was also
inspirational for many scientists in the fields of space
exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life,
including Carl Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when he
was a child."
