A little about the story

John Carter finds himself on Mars, where his unfamiliar strength is useful and his ignorance of the planet is dangerous. He encounters the Tharks and becomes involved with Dejah Thoris and the politics of the planet’s cities.

Burroughs keeps the geography and customs coming through immediate problems. It is an energetic early example of an adventure in which another world is explored by surviving it.
