Much more than a science fiction author, Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) is one of the great storytellers of the 20th century. An absolute master of the story, his work has influenced generations of writers and filmmakers. This edition – the most complete published in Spanish, prepared by Paul Viejo and translated by Ce Santiago – brings together everything from his most representative stories, the classics of Crónicas marcianas or The Illustrated Man, among others, to less frequented gems or never-before-translated versions of some titles, to draw a total image. Organized chronologically, this volume with more than a hundred stories allows us to follow the stylistic and thematic evolution of an inimitable creator who wrote about Mars as if he were talking about Earth, about the future to explore memory, about the endless summers of childhood and about houses that think, about fear without resorting to shock and also about machines that love and dream. Ray Bradbury's literature – lyrical, hypnotic, but, above all, unmistakable –, halfway between fable, fantastic, allegory, suspense and melancholy, defies genres and crosses generations of readers.
