The strange and wonderful tale of man's experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions.The classic work that transformed Ray Bradbury into a household name. Written in the age of the atom when America and Europe optimisitcally viewed the discovery of life on Mars as inevitable, Bradbury's 1940s short stories of a brutal, stark and unforgiving martian landscape were as shocking and visionary as they were insightful. 'The Martian Chronicles' tells the story of humanity's repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few. 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 that 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 with them -- and their desires and fantasies, tainted dreams. These were soon inhabited by the strange native beings, with their caged flowers and birds of flame.

Harper

One of Ray Bradbury’s classic short story collections, available in ebook for the first time. SUMMER MORNING, SUMMER NIGHT is a collection of short stories and vignettes based in Green Town, Illinois, the fictionalised version of Ray Bradbury’s native Waukegan, which also served as the setting for his modern classics DANDELION WINE, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, and FAREWELL SUMMER. Among them are stories about a pair of elderly sisters who concoct a love potion with unexpected consequence; the careful affection between a teacher and her young student; the fireflies in the night who spark a conversation about life between a young boy and his grandfather. This is a beautifully woven tapestry of stories that illuminates some of Green Town’s hidden corners, and reaffirms Bradbury’s position as an undisputed master of fiction. One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, Bradbury is also the author of the iconic FAHRENHEIT 451, THE ILLUSTRATED MAN and THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. He published some five hundred short stoires, novels and plays over his lifetime.
