Synopsis "Ray Bradbury: Novels and Story Cycles: The Martian Chronicles "

Four classics of the imagination from one of America's most beloved authors--including the complete Martian Chronicles. A master storyteller and visionary champion of creative freedom, Ray Bradbury is one of the most beloved and influential writers of our time. To explore the worlds of his books, his astonishing futures and haunting pasts, is to rediscover the wondrous possibilities of life. This Library of America edition gathers four of his greatest works in a single volume. Here is The Martian Chronicles in the complete form Bradbury came to prefer, its twenty-eight linked story-chapters offering visionary glimpses of our spacefaring future. In the dystopian thriller Fahrenheit 451, books and all they contain are forbidden. Dandelion Wine distills the enchanting essences of a childhood summer, while Something Wicked This Way Comes conjures the wild, centrifugal imaginings of youthful terror, in a fight to the death against supernatural foes. Biographer Jonathan R. Eller offers a newly researched chronology of Bradbury's life and career and detailed textual and explanatory notes.

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.
