Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950)
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a prolific American author of the 'pulp' era. The son of a Civil War veteran, he saw brief military service with the 7TH U.S. Cavalry before he was diagnosed with a heart problem and discharged. After working for five years in his father's business, Burroughs left for a string of disparate and short-lived jobs, and was working as a pencil sharpener wholesaler when he decided to try his hand at writing. He found almost instant success when his story 'Under the Moons of Mars' was serialised in All-Story Magazine in 1912, earning him the then-princely sum of $400.
Burroughs went on to have tremendous success as a writer, his wide-ranging imagination taking in other planets (John Carter of Mars and Carson of Venus), a hollow earth (Pellucidar), a lost world, westerns, historicals and adventure stories. Although he wrote in many genres, Burroughs is best known for his creation of the archetypal jungle hero, Tarzan. Edgar Rice Burroughs died in 1950.

Una Princesa de Marte es el primero de once volúmenes de aventuras e intrigas de la denominada “saga marciana” de Edgar Rice Burroughs, protagonizadas por John Carter. De hecho, el nombre del personaje fue el que dio título a la segunda y última adaptación cinematográfica de la novela, estrenada en 2.012 por Walt Disney Pictures, que fue un fracaso de taquilla, pese a que el libro original es muy ameno.
Narra las aventuras de un soldado confederado que decide dedicarse a buscar oro. Huyendo de los indios se refugia en una cueva y, misteriosamente, se encuentra en Marte, conocido como Barsoom por sus habitantes. En el correr de sus aventuras conoce a la Princesa Dejah Thoris, surgiendo entre ellos un amor por encima de las barreras que hay entre los mundos de los que procede cada uno. El devenir de dichas aventuras les llevará a recorrer todo el planeta, dibujando uno de los mundos extraterrestres más coloridos que jamás se hayan descrito.
