The Martian Chronicles
by Ray Bradbury
The strange and wonderful tale of man's experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions. This classic work transformed Ray Bradbury into a household name.
Written in the age of the atom, when America and Europe optimistically viewed the discovery of life on Mars as inevitable, Bradbury's 1940s short stories depict a brutal, stark, and unforgiving Martian landscape that was as shocking and visionary as it was insightful.
'The Martian Chronicles' tells the story of humanity's repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few, and most succumbed to a disease they called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a pin dot. Those few who survived found no welcome.
The shape-changing Martians thought they were native lunatics and duly locked them up. More rockets arrived from Earth, piercing the hallucinations projected by the Martians. People brought their old prejudices, desires, and tainted dreams, which were soon inhabited by the strange native beings, with their caged flowers and birds of flame.
