| Summary |
"Marsin jumalat: Seikkailuromaani" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Carter, a former American Civil War captain with the ability to travel to Mars, also known as Barsoom, where he has previously battled various alien races. The novel invites readers into an exhilarating world of danger and heroism as Carter embarks on another quest to rescue Dejah Thoris, the princess of Helium. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist reflects on the mysterious past of his grandfather, John Carter, who seems to have returned from the dead and asks to meet. The opening sets the stage for the reunion between the narrator and Carter, hinting at the latter's tales from Mars. Shortly after, Carter's sudden summons leads the narrator to wonder about the revelations contained in his manuscripts concerning adventures among strange inhabitants on Mars, setting up the anticipation of excitement and peril as the tale unfolds once more.
