Synopsis "The Martian Chronicles"

The Martian Chronicles, a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage, is available from Simon & Schuster for the first time. In The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury, America's preeminent storyteller, imagines a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor-- of crystal pillars and fossil seas--where a fine dust settles on the great empty cities of a vanished, devastated civilization. Earthmen conquer Mars and then are conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race. In this classic work of fiction, Bradbury exposes our ambitions, weaknesses, and ignorance in a strange and breathtaking world where man does not belong.

Ray Bradbury nació el 22 de agosto de 1920 en Waukegan, Illinois, Estados Unidos. Durante la Gran Depresión se trasladó con su familia a Los Ángeles, donde se graduó en 1938 en Los Angeles High School. Su educación académica acabó ahí, pero continuó formándose por cuenta propia hasta que en 1943 se convirtió en escritor profesional. Sus obras más conocidas son «Crónicas marcianas» (1950), «El hombre ilustrado» (1951) y «Fahrenheit 451» (1953). Bradbury , además de novelas, también ha escrito innumerables guiones de televisión, ensayos y poemas. Su preocupación como escritor no solo se centra en cuestionarse el modo de vida actual, también se adentra en el reino de lo fantástico y maravilloso, con un estilo poético y a veces provocativo. En su niñez, Bradbury fue muy propenso a las pesadillas y horribles fantasías, que acabó por plasmar en sus relatos muchos años después.
