[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Ray Bradbury** (Author)

**A special hardcover collector's edition of one of Ray Bradbury's most beloved collections--featuring printed endpapers and stained edges. _The Martian Chronicles_ is a work of extraordinary imagination that evokes the wonder and folly of Earth's colonization of the fourth planet from the sun.**

_Mars was a distant shore, and the men spread upon it in waves... Each wave different, and each wave stronger._

In a much-celebrated literary career that spanned seven decades, Ray Bradbury produced an astonishing body of work: unforgettable novels, including _Fahrenheit 451_ and _Something Wicked This Way Comes;_ essays, theatrical works, screenplays and teleplays; _The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, The October Country,_ and numerous other superb short story collections. But of all the dazzling stars in the vast Bradbury universe, none shines more luminous than these masterful chronicles of Earth's settlement of the fourth world from the sun.

Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor--of crystal pillars and fossil seas--where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn--first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars ... and then is conquered _by_ it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

_The Martian Chronicles_ is a classic work of twentieth-century literature whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage. In connected, chronological stories, a true grandmaster once again enthralls, delights, and challenges us with his vision and his heart--starkly and stunningly exposing in brilliant spacelight our strength, our weakness, our folly, and our poignant humanity on a strange and breathtaking world where humanity does not belong.
