Action, romance, fantastic creatures and a bit of satire distinguish this groundbreaking novel of adventure fantasy. By incredible accident Gulliver Jones finds himself on Mars, interacting with strange beings and stranger societies and embarked on a quest to save a beautiful princess from a cruel tyrant. First published in England in 1905 under the title Lt. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation, the book was re-titled Gulliver of Mars when first published in the USA in 1964. The novel can be seen as an example of both early science fiction and the genre of Planetary Romance made popular by Edgar Rice Burroughs and later carried on by C.S. Lewis, Michael Moorcock, Jack Vance, Anne McCaffrey and others. The author shows the influence of H.G. Wells and supplies a bit of satire in the vein of Jonathan Swift, as might be suspected from the title. Gulliver Jones is a unique character, brave but slightly out of his depth in a new world, and his adventures among the crumbling cities, dense jungles and strange beasts of Mars are distinctively his own. Although no sequels to Gulliver of Mars were written, the character has lived on in several comic books. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Gulliver of Mars is both modern and readable.

In 1905, Edwin L. 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 this 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. 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.

Many believe that Edgar Rice Burroughs' inspiration to create his world of Barsoom came from this novel. Transported to Mars in a most unexpected fashion, Lieutenant Gulliver Jones, U.S.N., promptly found himself head-over-heels in adventure and romance. Mars was a planet of ruined cities, ancient peoples, copper-skinned swordsmen, and weird and awesome monsters. There was a princess to be rescued, a River of Death to be navigated, and a strange prophecy to be fulfilled.

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.
