Summary "Thuvia, Marsin neito" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book immerses readers in a fantastical setting on Mars, where the narrative revolves around political intrigue, adventure, and romance. The main characters introduced are Thuvia, a royal princess, and Carthoris, the son of John Carter, who seem to be caught in a complex web of courtly relationships and conflicts as they navigate challenges imposed by their respective societies. The opening of the book sets the stage for a dramatic encounter in a royal garden, where Thuvia is confronted by Astok, a prince trying to impose his affections upon her. Thuvia firmly rebuffs him, leading to a tense situation that escalates when Carthoris intervenes, highlighting the cultural customs and expectations of their Martian society. As tensions mount, Thuvia's impending engagement to another prince looms over her interactions, with Carthoris feeling a deep, unreciprocated attachment to her. The scene teases a broader narrative involving themes of loyalty, love, and the potential for war between kingdoms, suggesting that much more than personal desires is at stake.
