This carefully crafted ebook: “THE BARSOOM CHRONICLES - Under the Moons of Mars Series: Complete Collection (Illustrated)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Barsoom is a fictional representation of the planet Mars created by American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The world of Barsoom is a romantic vision of a dying Mars. The novels in the series are mostly travelogues, they feature copious violence, and often depict civilized heroes captured by uncivilized cultures and mimicking their captors to survive. Most Barsoom novels follow a familiar plot structure, wherein a hero is forced to a far-off location in search of a woman kidnapped by an odious but powerful villain. The Barsoom series, where John Carter in the late 19th century is mysteriously transported from Earth to a Mars suffering from dwindling resources, has been cited by many well known science fiction writers as having inspired and motivated them in their youth. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Beside Tarzan’s adventures, Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving Earthly adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs's fictional name for Mars, and Amtor, his fictional name for Venus), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns and historical romances.
