[German] - John Carter: Eine Prinzessin vom Mars
"Mit der Erzählung Eine Prinzessin des Mars erschuf Edgar Rice Burroughs, der Autor der Tarzan-Reihe, einen Meilenstein des Fantasy und Science-Fiction Genres. Die Geschichte erschien erstmals im Jahr 1912 und begründete den Anfang einer Serie von Romanen, der Barsoom-Reihe, die alle auf dem Planeten Mars spielen. Im Mittelpunkt der Geschichte steht der Protagonist John Carter, ein konföderierter Kapitän des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, der auf mysteriöse Weise auf den Planeten Mars transportiert wird. Bei seiner Ankunft entdeckt John Carter, dass ihm die geringere Schwerkraft des Planeten eine übermenschliche Kraft und Beweglichkeit verliehen hat. Diese Fähigkeiten helfen ihm, die Treue der Tharks zu gewinnen, einem nomadischen, kriegerischen Stamm grüner sechsgliedriger Aliens. Der Mars von Edgar Rice Burroughs ist eine Wüstenwelt, ein sterbender Planet, auf dem sich verschiedene Stämme feindlich gegenüber stehen. Unter anderem gibt es die wilden 'Grünen Marsmenschen', Tharks genannt und die fortschrittlicheren 'Roten Marsmenschen', eine Gruppe von Humanoiden, die ein loses Netzwerk von Stadtstaaten bewohnen und die Kanäle und die Landwirtschaft des Planeten kontrollieren. John Carter wird bald in den politischen Konflikt zwischen den beiden 'Roten Mars'-Stadtstaaten Zodanga und Helium verwickelt, als er die schöne Dejah Thoris, Prinzessin von Helium, rettet und sich in sie verliebt. Eine Prinzessin vom Mars ist sowohl ein romantisches Abenteuer als auch eine Science-Fiction-Fantasiegeschichte, die seit ihrer Erstveröffentlichung unzählige Science-Fiction-Autoren inspiriert hat."

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. No man had ever penetrated the Great Thorn Forest until Tarzan of the Apes crashed his plane behind it on his solo flight. Within he finds a beautiful country. But in it lives the Alali, strange Stone Age giants whose women regard all men as less than slaves. And beyond the Alali lies the country of the Ant Men--little people only eighteen inches tall. There, in Trohanadalmakus, Tarzan is an honored guest, until he is captured by the warriors of Veltopismakus in one of the Ant Men's wars. But unknown to the ape-man, they have plans for him--by the advanced science of the little people, Tarzan is shrunk to their size and set to work as a quarry slave."

"The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows Billy Byrne, a violent street criminal from Chicago’s slums, who embraces his identity as a 'mucker'—a thief, brawler, and outcast with only a code of loyalty to his own.

Initially brutal and defiant, Byrne begins to change when confronted by Barbara’s courage and moral strength.

A powerful tale of redemption, class, and self-sacrifice, The Mucker is Burroughs’ rawest, most human story."
