THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES BY RAY BRADBURY

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.

InThe Martian Chronicles,Ray Bradbury, Americas preeminent storyteller, imagines a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor of crystal pillars and fossil seaswhere 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.
