boys, from which such writers as Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Arthur Clarke emerged. A movie based on the book, John Carter, was released in 2012 and became one of the highest-grossing films in Russian distribution. Edgar Rice Burroughs – the author who gave the world Tarzan and John Carter – initially never intended to become a writer. After an unsuccessful military career and failed ventures, he decided, while reading popular magazines in his spare time, that he could write just as well. And he was right. Several dozen popular adventure novels in various series came from his pen. One of them is in your hands right now. Princess of Mars opens one of the most popular series by E. R. Burroughs, telling the story of a gentleman from Virginia – John Carter. A veteran of the American Civil War, while hiding in a cave from the red-skinned natives, ends up on Mars. The arid Red Planet becomes a battleground for local inhabitants fighting for scarce resources. John Carter, an unwitting participant in this struggle, will also have to take up arms to protect his love. The text is adapted for continuing learners of English at the lower level, level 2 – Pre-Intermediate. The book contains a glossary and detailed comments. The adaptation author is the remarkable linguist Aleksandra Igorevna Smirnova.
