This collection is excellent proof that we have not yet discovered the entire legacy of the Great Master. Whatever Bradbury writes about: about Mars, the Wild West, robots or space flights, he always writes about what is closest and dearest: childhood, memory, fantasies, kindness. The stories and poems published in Russian for the first time not only draw a contour across the entire creative biography of the writer, but also give us a look inside his imagination. The world was changing, fears, dreams and prejudices were changing, and Ray Bradbury caught these changes with the sensitivity of an artist. The world was changing - together with Bradbury, thanks to him.
