Edgar Rice Burroughs

    1 september 1875 – 19 maart 1950

    Edgar Rice Burroughs was een productieve Amerikaanse auteur, vooral bekend om zijn creatie van de jungleheld Tarzan en de heldhaftige John Carter. Ondanks zijn roem voor deze personages, produceerde hij werken in vele genres, wat zijn veelzijdigheid als verteller aantoont. Zijn uitgebreide oeuvre dook vaak in avontuurlijke en fantastische thema's, waarbij hij lezers meenam naar exotische en fantasierijke werelden. Burroughs wordt geprezen om zijn vermogen om meeslepende werelden en onvergetelijke helden te creëren die een wereldwijd publiek aanspraken.

      De John Carter-serie is altijd een beetje in de schaduw gebleven van het grote Tarzan-succes van Edgar Rice Burroughs. Ten onrechte, want zijn fantasy-boeken zijn zeker niet minder dan Tarzan. De in 1875 te Chicago geboren auteur leefde zich uit in deze John Carter-serie die zich op Mars afspeelt. Tot aan zijn dood in 1950 bleef hij delen produceren. Westfriesland brengt de eerste twee delen van deze odyssee, Prinses van Mars en Goden van Mars, nu in een band. Een hernieuwde kennismaking derhalve voor de nederlandse liefhebber van het SF- en fantasy-genre met John Carter uit Virginia, die door een mysterieus toeval op de 'rode planeet' verzeild raakt en daar geconfronteerd wordt met oorlogszuchtige wezens...

There is not only adventure, but a good deal of humor here as well. Despite the racist tone, and that is only directed at the enemy of the day, it is one of the better Tarzan books.
