A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer
Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first
serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July,
1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a
classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal
instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that
became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its
early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on
Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This
vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell,
whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. The Barsoom series inspired a number of well-known
20th-century science fiction writers, including Jack Vance, Ray
Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, and John Norman. The
series was also inspirational for many scientists in the fields of space
exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life, including Carl
Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when he was a child.
