Synopsis "a sound of thunder and other stories"

With his disarmingly simple style and complex imagination, Ray Bradbury has seized the minds of American readers for decades.This collection showcases thirty-two of Bradbury's most famous tales in which he lays bare the depths of the human soul. The thrilling title story, A Sound of Thunder, tells of a hunter sent on safari -- sixty million years in the past. But all it takes is one wrong step in the prehistoric jungle to stamp out the life of a delicate and harmless butterfly -- and possibly something else much closer to home ...

Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois, USA. During the Great Depression, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he graduated in 1938 from Los Angeles High School. His academic education ended there, but he continued to educate himself until he became a professional writer in 1943. His most famous works are "The Martian Chronicles" (1950), "The Illustrated Man" (1951), and "Fahrenheit 451" (1953). Bradbury has also written countless TV scripts, essays, and poems in addition to novels. His concern as a writer not only focuses on questioning the current way of life, but also delves into the realm of the fantastic and wonderful, with a poetic and sometimes provocative style. In his childhood, Bradbury was very prone to nightmares and horrible fantasies, which he later captured in his stories many years later.
