A Princess of Mars LITE

American Short Story mit Audio für Englisch Lernende und Kinder

The audio edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s masterwork A Princess of Mars.

A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel, 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 seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. 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 LITE version features the first chapter of the full version.
