  • A Princess of Mars – T&T Solo Adaptation

    A Princess of Mars – T&T Solo Adaptation

    A Princess of Mars – T&T Solo Adaptation An exciting take on a classic book! A Princess of Mars Introduction This fine adventure is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ ‘A Princess of Mars’. Haven’t read it? You can get free copies from Project Gutenberg at http://www.gutenberg.org. Please turn to Paragraph 1. Adventure Paragraph 1 You are brave Captain Carter and you’re off mining gold in the mountains of Arizona. You have recently stumbled upon a rich vein of gold. Your trusty friend Powell puts on his red shirt and rides to get supplies. Shortly after you watch him ride over the crest of a distant hill, you see three shapes that appear to be following him. Playful antelope? Fearsome jackalope? You can’t tell from here. What do you do? “He’s fine,” you think, “there’s no such thing as a jackalope and everyone knows the local Apaches are friendly.” If you keep mining, turn to Paragraph 12. “I’ve always wanted to bag me a jackalope!” If you follow him go to Paragraph 7. Paragraph 2 You lose your way in the desert and eventually die of thirst. Sorry about your luck. 2 A Princess of Mars Paragraph 3 Your horse stumbles and falls to the ground. As you scramble up, you hear the first of the Apache ride by and choose a different path. They don’t know you’re here! After the entire army runs by, you quickly backtrack towards the camp, make a wide swing around it and return to the mine.
  • NAKEDNESS on MARS by Woodrow Edgar Nichols, Jr

    NAKEDNESS on MARS by Woodrow Edgar Nichols, Jr

    NAKEDNESS ON MARS by Woodrow Edgar Nichols, Jr. INTRODUCTION When Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote A Princess of Mars and its sequels, he was writing the legal pornograpy of the day. He wrote what was the literary equivalent of a peep show, which we know he was fond of from his 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition midway adventures. (See, ERBzine #1275, chpt. 6.) This is where Little Egypt became an international celebrity. Because no acts of sex are explicitly described in this series, this fact passes mainly unnoticed to the modern reader, but a discerning eye sees on almost every page naked people with their sexual organs fully exposed, female breasts enhanced in leather harnesses, near rape scenes, acts of perverse cruelty and sado-masochistic bondage, including descriptions of violence, beheadings, and dismemberings, that put Kill Bill: Part One to shame. This would have been shocking literature in its day. It was still shocking when C.S. Lewis followed suit in 1944 by having the inhabitants of Perelandra appear as naked as Adam and Eve, without fig leaves. I can only imagine the kind of moral outrage it must have induced in the minds of Puritanical prudes and Victorian moralists, so influential in politics and the arts at the time. I don’t have to imagine too hard. My mother, a typical Victorian prude who hated Hugh Hefner till the day she died, knew all about ERB. When I was in the fifth grade, around ten years old in 1957, I visited with a friend after school one day. My friend’s mother had been an artist for Disney in the days of Fantasia and was the opposite of my mother.

    Barsoom Demographics and More by Cristian Sildan

    BARSOOMIAN DEMOGRAPHY , POLITY , SOCIETY AND ECONOMY BARSOOMIAN DEMOGRAPHY , POLITY , SOCIETY AND ECONOMY Cristian Sildan 2006 I’m one of these fans who likes to deepen and overana- lyze the structure of an imaginary world when he sees a good one. Barsoom is one of the excellent ones. But it’s not like ERB’s a prophet and his cycle a holy book or something. We fans have to work with the good ideas of the Magister, add and make them more precise when not sufficiently well expressed, and to counter them when not good enough. Den Valdron, with whom I’ve exchanged some ideas and who told me to send you this work of mine, has already done that by demonstrating that Korus cannot possibly be at the South Pole, for example. An incredible number of persons work on ERB’s imaginary universe(s). I hope I’ll be one of them if you consider my little work here worthy to be added to theirs. 1 BARSOOMIAN DEMOGRAPHY , POLITY , SOCIETY AND ECONOMY Many aspects of Barsoom have been treated with surprising detail, including religion and linguis- tics. I’m interested in demography, polity and socio- economic stuff, so that’s what I’ll talk about in the material below. I’ll take into account what other “barsoomologists” have written. Very important to me will be the map of the planet and its canals, by Rick Johnson. It may be criticized for being too simplified compared to Lowel’s but on the other hand, ERB himself doesn’t present us a world that’s too crisscrossed with canals.

Dimensions: 8.9in. x 5.8in. x 0.5in.John Carter is prospecting in Arizona when he finds himself on the run from Apaches. He hides in a cave and is mysteriously transported to Mars! There he meets the Tharks, green martians who stand fieen feet tall and have six arms. Carter discovers he has incredible strength on Mars because of the lesser gravity, and soon becomes a respected warrior. Carter soon meets Dejah Thoris, a princess of Mars from the red martian race. He rescues her and falls in love, but must fight to protect her. A Princess of Mars was originally serialized in All Story Magazine back in 1912. Edgar Rice Burroughs was worried that the far-out nature of the tale would make it diicult for him to keep a job because employers would think he was too strange, so he asked for Under the Moons of Mars (as it was called when it ran in the magazine) to have Normal Bean as the author to drive home the fact that he was still a regular guy.

    A PRINCESS of MARS by Edgar Rice Burroughs

    A PRINCESS OF MARS by Edgar Rice Burroughs CHAPTER I ON THE ARIZONA HILLS I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but yet I have the same horror of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death, I believe, that I am so convinced of my mortality. And because of this conviction I have determined to write down the story of the interesting periods of my life and of my death. I cannot explain the phenomena;I can only set down here in the words of an ordinary soldier of fortune a chronicle of the strange events that befell me during the ten years that my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona cave. I have never told this story, nor shall mortal man see this manuscript until after I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it cannot grasp, and so I do not purpose being pilloried by the public, the pulpit, and the press, and held up as a colossal liar when I am but telling the simple truths which some day science will substantiate.
