Gulliver of Mars
(Original Title: Lieut. Gulliver Jones)
A long-lost classic of Martian adventure
by Edwin L. Arnold
Ace Books 1964
224 pages
Originally published in London in 1905 as Lieutenant Gulliver Jones by Brown, Langham and Co., Ltd, the title is sometimes refered to as "Lieut. Gulliver Jones: His Vacation." It is claimed that this story was a source for Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom, and while Arnold’s protagonist Gulliver Jones is nothing like Burroughs's John Carter, Carter is very much like “Phra the Phoenician” – another Arnold book. As for Arnold, he was probably influenced by “A Journey in Other Worlds” by John Jacob Astor (1894), and by “The Time Machine” by H. G. Wells (1895).
This copy is a part of Gary G. Johnson’s Classic Science Fiction Collection gifted in 2019.
