Bradbury Ray The Martian Chronicles
В разные годы на Марс отправляются экспедиции, космические корабли садятся в разных частях планеты и экипажи встречаются с совершенно разными жителями этой планеты. Кого-то из прибывших землян сразу убивают - на всякий случай, кто-то оказывается в иллюзии прошлой жизни на Земле, кто-то пытается подружиться с аборигенами. В книге Брэдбери земляне стремятся на Марс по разным причинам: некоторые ищут одиночества, другие - богатства, но все стараются покинуть Землю не потому, что на Марсе хорошо, а потому, что на Земле плохо. Предлагаем вниманию читателей неадаптированный текст повести, снабженный комментариями и словарем. Комментарии и словарь: Е.Г. Тигонен.

Bradbury Ray The Martian Chronicles
The visionary master of science fiction at his best. Written in the age of the atom, when America and Europe optimistically viewed the discovery of life on Mars as inevitable, Bradbury's closely interwoven tales of a brutal, stark and unforgiving Martian landscape are both astonishing and insightful. "The Martian Chronicles" tells the story of humanity's repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few. Most succumbed to a disease called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a fist. Those few who survived found no welcome on Mars. But more rockets arrived from Earth, and more. People brought their old prejudices with them - and their desires and fantasies and tainted dreams.

Bradbury Ray The Martian Chronicles
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

Ray Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles
The strange and wonderful tale of man's experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions.The classic work that transformed Ray Bradbury into a household name. Written in the age of the atom when America and Europe optimisitcally viewed the discovery of life on Mars as inevitable, Bradbury's 1940s short stories of a brutal, stark and unforgiving martian landscape were as shocking and visionary as they were insightful. `The Martian Chronicles' tells the story of humanity's repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few. Most succumbed to a disease they called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a pin dot. Those few that survived found no welcome. The shape-changing Martians thought they were native lunatics and duly locked them up. More rockets arrived from Earth, piercing the hallucinations projected by the Martians. People brought their old prejudices with them - and their desires and fantasies, tainted dreams. These were soon inhabited by the strange native beings, with their caged flowers and birds of flame.
