Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Gulliver of Mars" by Edwin Lester Arnold is a novel first published in 1905. This pioneering work combines fantasy and science fiction, following a military man who travels to Mars by magical means. There he explores strange civilizations and falls in love with a Martian princess. Unlike typical heroes, Gullivar Jones is hapless, stumbling through adventures without fully mastering his circumstances. The novel is considered an important precursor to the planetary romance genre, potentially inspiring Edgar Rice Burroughs's famous Barsoom series.
