Список книг автора Ray BradburyThe Martian Chronicles
The strange and wonderful tale of man’s experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions. Now part of the Voyager Classics collection.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 fist. They felt they had never been born. Those few that survived found no welcome on Mars. The shape-changing Martians thought they were native lunatics and duly locked them up.But more rockets arrived from Earth, and more, 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.

Ray Bradbury raamatusse on koondatud ta kuulsaimad 1940. aastate lühilood, millele ta on lisanud paar uut ja saanud kollaažromaani, milles on ehedat lapsepõlvenostalgiat ja halloweeni-igatsust. Selles tegutseb surematu ja üleloomulike võimetega Elliottide perekond, kes elavad sajandeid vanas majas. Nende hulka kuuluvad öösiti taevalaotustes lendav nahkhiiretiibadega onu Einar, igavesti magav Cecy, kes suudab teiste inimeste kehasid üle võtta, ja teisi poolmütoloogilisi tegelasi. Lisaks kuulub lapsendatuna perre ka surelik poiss Timothy, kes sooviks samuti, et talle maitseks vampiiri kombel verd juua, et ta oleks surematu, kuid kes peab leppima ajaliku eluga.
