{"product_id":"9781435160422","title":"John Carter of Mars (Barnes \u0026 Noble Collectible Editions): The First Five Novels","description":"Born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 1, 1875, into a well-to-do family, \u003cb\u003eEdgar Rice Burroughs\u003c\/b\u003e was given an aristocratic private education. But though he tried his hand at several business ventures, he was drawn more to an itinerant life of adventure than to a life in the boardroom.\u003cp\u003eIn 1912, after many failed business ventures, the thirty-five-year-old Burroughs published his first story, “Under the Moons of Mars,” in the pulp magazine \u003ci\u003eAll-Story\u003c\/i\u003e. It was so successful that he turned soon thereafter to writing full-time. He would write nearly 70 novels and numerous short stories before his death in 1950. Although best-known for his immensely popular \u003ci\u003eTarzan\u003c\/i\u003e series—he later bought an estate near where the films were shot in Southern California that he named Tarzana—Burroughs didn’t confine himself to a single genre, also writing medieval romances, westerns, and mainstream novels.Among his many science-fiction works, Burroughs wrote eleven novels in the John Carter of Mars series, the titular final installment of which was published fourteen years after his death in 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142007734512,"sku":"9781435160422","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781435160422_p0.jpg?v=1769904482","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781435160422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
