About the book: 2012 / A world-class master who combines the incompatible in literature. The creator of such textbook masterpieces as “The Martian Chronicles”, “Dandelion Wine”, “Fahrenheit 451” and so on and so on. Winner of many literary awards. This is Ray Bradbury. 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 Ray Bradbury into classical orbit. The works collected in this book are worthy confirmation of this..
