Download or read book Gullivar of Mars written by Edwin Lester Linden Arnold and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oh, I wish I were anywhere but here, anywhere out of this redtape-ridden world of ours! I wish I were in the planet Mars!" Whisked away to the legendary red planet, the intrepid Lieutenant Gullivar Jones is caught up in the adventure of a lifetime. To win the love of a beautiful princess, he fights his way across a dying and savage planet of desolate cities, lost races, utopian societies, and the haunting and unforgettable River of Death. This classic, influential tale of Mars, written in the utopian tradition of H. G. Wells's The Time Machine, is also considered a possible inspiration for the immortal Barsoom of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Both reflective and imaginative, Gullivar of Mars celebrates the acuity and storytelling power of science fiction writers of the early twentieth century and continues to influence writers and to entertain readers today. This commemorative edition includes the full text of the classic 1905 edition, a new introduction by Richard A. Lupoff, an illustration by Thomas Floyd, and an afterword by Gary Hoppenstand. Edwin L. Arnold (1857-1935) was the author of several books, including Lepidus the Centurion: A Roman of Today. Richard A. Lupoff is the author of Claremont Tales and Circumpolar: A Novel. Gary Hoppenstand is a professor of American thought and language at Michigan State University. He is the author of Clive Barker's Short Stories: Imagination as Metaphor in the Books of Blood and Other Works and the editor of Popular Fiction: An Anthology, which won the Popular Culture Association's National Book Award.

Book excerpt: Lieut. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation is the last novel by Edwin Lester Arnold, combining elements of both fantasy and science fiction, first published in 1905. Its lukewarm reception led Arnold to stop writing fiction. It has since become his best-known work, and is considered important in the development of 20th century science fiction in that it is a precursor and likely inspiration to Edgar Rice Burroughs's classic A Princess of Mars (1917), which spawned the planetary romance[1] and sword and planet genres. Ace Books reprinted Arnold's novel in paperback in 1964, retitling it Gulliver [sic] of Mars. A more recent Bison Books edition (2003) was issued as Gullivar of Mars, adapting the Ace title to Arnold's spelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Navy officer Gulliver finds himself transported by extraordinary means to the planet, Mars. Soon after his arrival, Gullivar finds himself face to face with all manner of danger. He sees the most terrifying of monsters and finds himself involved in epic battles. Gullivar also finds his heart being drawn to a Martian princess... None of Gullivar's experiences have prepared him for his adventures on the Red Planet. BEFORE JOHN CARTER... There are obvious and clear similarities between Gulliver of Mars and Edgar Rice Burroughs' more famous John Carter books set on Mars - the military man transported to Mars by mystic means, who falls in love with a Martian princess and becomes involved in adventures, though the novel was met with such an insipid reception that it cause Edwin Arnold to stop writing fiction. It is now considered his most famous work. The novel was originaly published as Lieut. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation, but has later been reissued as Gullivar of Mars and Gulliver of Mars.

Download or read book Gulliver of Mars written by Edwin Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1905, Edwin Arnold adapted the classic Gulliver character and story into the adventures of Gullivar Jones. Like Washington Irving and Mark Twain did with Rip Van Winkle and Hank Morgan, Arnold employs an abstract device to explain how his hero is able to instantaneously be transported to a magical world, but instead of being displaced in time, he finds himself on Mars. Jones is actually carried there by means of a magic carpet, making his novel the first significant contribution to what will become the space fantasy genre. Gullivar Jones is the perfect unifying idea between Jonathan Swift's hero and his more recognizable descendants. Like Lemuel Gulliver, Gullivar Jones employs his courtesies to gain the goodwill of the Martian society. Arnold's novel calls back to Swift's also because it takes a satirical look at society and its irrational particularities of structure. The new element it introduces to that concept is that of swashbuckling space adventure. Jones finds himself in a world of weaklings where he, an average man of our own world, is now superior both in physical strength and mental resolve. This is reminiscent of THE TIME MACHINE, published ten years prior, which thrust its protagonist into a world of soft and simple people who were helpless to defend themselves whenever a threat was introduced into their peaceful primitive lives. Inspired (quite generously) by GULLIVER OF MARS, Edgar Rice Burroughs crafted his own Mars epic, the Barsoom stories of John Carter. Burroughs must have been directly influenced by Arnold's story, because John Carter's adventures follow the same basic framework. Unlike Gullivar Jones, Carter finds himself on Mars after a run-in with Apaches ends with his death. Much like Twain's Hank Morgan, Carter inexplicably wakes up to find himself on the alien world of Barsoom, which he in time comes to learn is the planet Mars. Like its predecessors, A PRINCESS OF MARS makes no effort to explain in rational terms how this is possible.

This is reminiscent of THE TIME MACHINE, published ten years prior, which thrust its protagonist into a world of soft and simple people who were helpless to defend themselves whenever a threat was introduced into their peaceful primitive lives. But Gullivar's adventures have long-reaching effects beyond the modest boundaries of this single book. Just as he was inspired by those who came before him, he in turn serves as inspiration for the most popular space heroes that came after. In this annotated edition, we will explore Gullivar Jones' Martian adventure. Footnotes will be provided within the text where particular lines or passages are individually worthy of mention, but a post-script to each chapter will review the story's impacts and influences along the way. You are probably familiar with more popular variants of this concept, such as those Edgar Rice Burroughs offered in the Barsoom adventures of John Carter, but Gullivar is a worthy predecessor and his story stands on its own as a swashbuckling fairy tale of otherworldly adventure. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience this book before, I think you're in for a treat.
