Product Overview
Soar above the fossil seas and crystal pillars of a deadworld in the pages of Ray Bradburys The Martian Chronicles. A milestoneof American literature, Bradburys classic collection of interconnectedvignettes about life on the red planet diverges from the War of the Worlds theme,in which humanity must defend its shores against its neighbors, for in Bradburysprismatic vision, humanity is the conqueror, colonizing Mars to escape an Earthdevastated by atomic war and environmental catastrophe. Bradburys TheMartian Chronicles is a must-read for any fan of science fiction orfantasy, a crucial precursor to films like Avatar and Alien andbooks like Kim Stanley Robinsons Red Mars and Dan Simmons Hyperion,and a haunting prophesy of humanitys destiny to bring our old dreams andfollies along with us wherever we may venture forth.
