Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Es ist zwar "nur" ein Taschenbuch, aber schon der Umschlag mit den glänzenden Ornamenten und der passenden Grafik zeigt die Mühe die sich Disney mit dieser Ausgabe gegeben haben.
Das Druckbild ist sehr ansprechend und gut lesbar. Auf den Trennseiten zwischen den Kapiteln finden sich in hellgrau wieder die floralen Ornamente. Für ein Taschenbuch ein absoluter Augenschmaus!
Die Geschichten sind schnell, flüssig, spannend. Auch hier gilt wiedermal: Hirn aus, Kopfkino an! Die Schurken sind abgrundtief böse und schauderhaft häßlich. Die Helden aufrichtig und wunderschön. Gut und Böse sind stets bereit grünes, rotes oder blaues Blut in großen Mengen zu vergießen. Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei - wie man sie kontrastreicher auch bei Edward E. Smith kaum findet.
Die technischen Erläuterungen der Geschichten mag man aus heutiger Sicht belächeln, sehr gefallen hat mir aber die Beschreibung der ersten Gehversuche bei niedriger Schwerkraft des Helden John Carter.
Es kommen einige alte englische Worte und Wendungen vor. Dies trägt zu Stimmung bei und behindert meines Erachtens den Lesefluß kaum.

Sadly incomplete
17. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Let me start by saying I adore the John Carter of Mars books; I've read them many, many times over the years and I was really looking forward to being able to have the entire series on my Kindle. But I cannot in good conscience recommend this edition because the books included are incomplete -- when the edition was assembled, Disney appears to have dropped the forewords written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. These forewords are actually integral to the stories -- they tell how ERB received the manuscripts, whether from his uncle John Carter or from Jason Gridley (who was also in communication with Pellucidar -- most of Burroughs' series are very loosely set in the same world) and not including them means a loss of flavor and in some cases an abrupt and confusing beginning to the book as it appears in this edition.
I highly recommend the John Carter books; I just recommend that you get them in an edition that preserves their original state.

Timeless Tale of Adventure on Alien Worlds
11. Februar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
This volume neatly collects the first three novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary "Barsoom" or "John Carter of Mars" series, A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, and Warlord of Mars.
When I picked up these books, I was somewhat familiar with their historical significance, and the role they've played in inspiring science fiction works that have come in the years following the publication of John Carter's first adventure on the Red Planet. However, I knew little of the series, and didn't know what to expect. Would it read similarly to E.E. Smith's Lensmen series? Or would its narrative be similar to that of the works of H.G. Wells?
I am happy to say that the past hundred years have done nothing to stunt that glory of these tales. One need only an open mind and a vivid imagination to join John Carter of Virginia as he finds himself transported to a strange and alien world. With a willing suspension of disbelief, the reader finds him or herself strolling the alien soil of this neighboring planet alongside such larger than life characters as Tars Tarkas, Sola, Dejah Thoris, faithful calot Woola, and John Carter himself.
The style is engaging, and I found it difficult to tear myself away from these compelling tales of strange and distant worlds for any reason.

A sad farewell to a great adventure series
16. Dezember 2000
Other reviews appear to be speaking of the first book in the series, A Princess of Mars. John Carter of Mars is the 11th and last book of the Barsoomian adventure stories. In fact, this book is a combination of two stories: "The Giant of Mars", actually written by John Coleman Burroughs, and "The Skeleton Men of Jupiter", the first of a four-part series that was never finished.
"Giant of Mars" has long confused ERB fans, many of whom have wondered whether he actually wrote this story. The truth has been circulated for years but somehow doubt and literary legend seem to overwhelm it. John Coleman Burroughs did indeed write this story, and he admitted as much publicly.
"The Skeleton Men of Jupiter" is pure ERB space opera and it restores Barsoom's chapion to his former glory. This tale had the potential to become one of the all-time greatest ERB adventures, but he never wrote more than the first of four installments. Our hero resolves a major conflict and the reader is not left wondering if John Carter and Dejah Thoris survive, but their adventure is nonetheless incomplete.
Fans eager to read more about Carter's adventures need to get this book, but let the reader beware, it can only be unsatisfying. One is left with a sense of wonder, for Burroughs is said to have been burned out near the end of his life, but there is much about this story which is fresh and engrossing.
