The most famous works of the “good old storyteller” Ray Bradbury in one volume. The beloved writer of millions died quite recently - on June 5, 2012, but he made the world a much better place, leaving us the red sands and canals of Mars, the Illustrated Man, Halloween in the Midwest, small towns and dark carnivals. A world-class master who combines the incompatible in literature . The creator of such brilliant masterpieces as “The Martian Chronicles”, “Fahrenheit 451”, “Dandelion Wine” and so on and so forth. Winner of numerous awards. This is Ray Bradbury. His fascinating stories glorified the author not only as an unsurpassed storyteller, but also as a philosopher, thinker and psychologist. The magical realism of his prose, the man-made mechanisms of joy that transport a person from the present to the magical worlds of childhood, the miracle of familiarization with the great secret of Literature, generously given to the reader, have long brought Bradbury into a high classical orbit. The works collected in this book are worthy confirmation of this.
