About the book: 2019 / During his long literary career, Ray Bradbury created a number of the most striking works of our time. But none of them can show the full breadth and depth of his talent, except, perhaps, The Martian Chronicles. A visionary story about humanity’s attempt to colonize another planet, a new frontier and a nuclear apocalypse, this unique book is both science fiction and an integral part of modern culture. The book includes the “Martian Chronicles” themselves, published for the first time in Russian in its entirety, including short stories and prefaces removed or added by the author at different times, as well as “Other Martian Chronicles” and “Non-Canonical Chronicles” - two collections of “Martian stories” selected by Bradbury himself.
