First published in England in 1905 under the title \u003ci\u003eLt. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation\u003c\/i\u003e, the book was re-titled \u003ci\u003eGulliver of Mars\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eGulliver of Mars\u003c\/i\u003e were written, the character has lived on in several comic books.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eGulliver of Mars\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flying carpet transports an ordinary man to Mars and wild adventure in \u003ci\u003eGulliver of Mars\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eEdwin Lester Arnold\u003c\/b\u003e.
