Lana of Gathol is an exciting novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and one of the interesting novels in the Barsoom series that is famous all over the world. It is a series of Martian novels, where "Barsoum" means "Martian" in the Martian language used in the novels, which Burroughs invented and met with great success. The Mars series of novels can be read as a whole, connected, or each novel separately, and this adds great importance to this series. In the translation of this series by Dr. Shahrat Al-Alam specifically for Afaq Publishing and Distribution, we have presented to the Arabic language reader this international series translated into Arabic for the first time. This novel takes place in Lanikai, an area, beach, post office, and grocery store located on the leeward shore of the island of Oahu, one of the largest islands in the US state of Hawaii. What a distance from Mars. Its waters are blue, beautiful and calm within its coral reefs. Perhaps the sighs of the trade winds through coconut leaves at night were the whispers of the ghosts of kings and leaders who fished in its still waters long ago, before sea captains brought strange diseases, or missionaries brought loose, long-sleeved dresses to women.
