Gulliver of Mars

Gulliver of Mars, originally published in 1905 as Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation, is an escapist novel by Edwin Lester Arnold. It follows American Navy Lieutenant Gulliver Jones, who is magically transported to Mars, where he navigates various challenges, encounters enemies, and seeks romance. The book serves as a bridge between the works of H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs, blending satire with sword-and-planet adventure, making it notable for its early contributions to the science fiction genre.
