![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. No rating, as I won't be finishing the book. I made it to about the 20% mark. I just wasn't enjoying it, and it was actually a little boring. The English was too "upper crust" and out-of-date for me to read easily. I was checking the definitions of too many words (often not found in the Kindle dictionary). URANIA COLLEZIONE NR. 154 A precursor of Burroughs' Mars novels. Quite entertaining in a Victorian sort of way. Had to stop reading this as it was annoying me. I know it was written in 1905 but really, mars inhabited by english speaking people! Also the writing was getting on my nerves! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

“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!” nbsp; 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. nbsp; 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. nbsp; 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. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Still despite ALL its flaws it at least provoked a reaction from me, even if that reaction was that i wanted to track down the author and make him rewrite it properly this time. (
