’Gulliver of Mars’ is a science fiction novel written by Edwin Lester Arnold, first published in 1905 under the pseudonym ’Edison Thomas.’ The novel follows the adventures of Lieutenant Gulliver Jones of the United States Navy, who finds himself transported to Mars through mysterious means.
On Mars, Gulliver encounters various fantastical creatures and peoples, including the humanoid but alien Martian races. He becomes embroiled in their conflicts and politics while also falling in love with a Martian princess named Heru. The novel combines elements of adventure, romance, and speculative fiction, with Gulliver navigating the strange and wondrous landscape of Mars.
’Gulliver of Mars’ is often considered one of the early works of science fiction that helped shape the genre. Its imaginative portrayal of Mars and its inhabitants influenced later writers, including Edgar Rice Burroughs, who wrote the famous ’Barsoom’ series featuring the character John Carter, another Earthman transported to Mars. Despite its initial publication over a century ago, ’Gulliver of Mars’ remains a notable work in the history of science fiction literature.
