Title: The Martian Chronicles Publisher: Doubleday, New York Publication Date: 1950 Binding: Hardcover Condition: Very Good Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Edition: A First Edition, First Printing Soar above the fossil seas and crystal pillars of a dead world in the pages of Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. A milestone of American literature, Bradbury’s classic collection of interconnected vignettes about life on the red planet diverges from the War of the Worlds theme in which humanity must defend its shores against its neighbors, for in Bradbury’s prismatic vision, humanity is the conqueror, colonizing Mars to escape an Earth devastated by atomic war and environmental catastrophe. Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles is a must-read for any fan of science fiction or fantasy, a crucial precursor to films like Avatar and Alien and books like Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red Mars and Dan Simmons’ Hyperion and a haunting prophesy of humanity’s destiny to bring our old dreams and follies along with us wherever we may venture forth.2604
