Notes: Mostly dialogues between two people, it's about relationships, memories and an America that doesn't exist anymore.

Reading Ray Bradbury makes me smile.
That could be my whole review of his collection of previously unpublished short stories entitled We’ll Always Have Paris. Bradbury is like the somewhat kooky old uncle whom you look forward to seeing at reunions; who, upon reaching into the mailbox and discover a letter from him, you quicken and smile and go to a comfortable chair to read and enjoy and find out what he’s been up to.
The stories in We’ll Always Have Paris are almost all short, some mere sketches, some with a truncated sense of incompleteness, yet all have the characteristic magic that is quintessential Bradbury. These range from his fantastic adaptation of Mars, to creepy, to his own wry observation of the otherwise commonplace, and they are all enjoyable.

In 2009, three years before his death, Ray Bradbury released a collection of short stories entitled, “We’ll always have Paris”. Honestly, it’s not his best work, but I’d give anything just to listen to Lennon screw around on the piano once more. And I enjoyed Bradbury screwing around on his typewriter, hitting some perfect notes, and a few way off-key. I was transported, I was confused, and I was moved.
The best is the first story, “Massinello Pietro”, which is based on a true story about a rare soul Bradbury came across in Paris. This and one or two others, brought out the romantic in me, which is no easy feat, as it’s hidden in a dark corner of my mind, in a locked box, and rarely sees the light of day. There are notes and hints of classic Bradbury throughout, and “Fly Away Home” drew me back into my teens, reading “Martian Chronicles” late at night, when I should have been sleeping. Other stories recalled, “Something Wicked this Way Comes”, or “October Country”, but not as aptly as those titles.
Yes, far from his best work, I’m still happy I picked this one up. Even the stories that never seem to find their footing, there are phrases and notions that remind me of Bradbury’s talents. He ends with a very timely poem about America. I’ll leave you with its final passage:
“In tides of immigrants that this year flow
You still remain the beckoning hearth they’d know.
In midnight beds with blueprint, plan and scheme
You are the dream that other people dream.”

I think this one's onee of the weaker Bradbury's works. Not really what I've come to expect from him. While the one-liner headers are, as is always the case with him, memorable, the rest is, well, not up to the rest of it. Anyway, I read it in full as a tribute of sorts since I dearly love his works and they usually are outstanding. Not the man's fault he was better when going on about space and Mars and dandelions than about the mundanerish stuff. Just a show that when we come to expect the best, we expect it always and get disappointed easily.
Anyway, for any other writer this would've been considered a great read.

„Париж завинаги“ е любимият ми сборник с разкази на Рей Бредбъри! Различните истории в него са заредени със страшно силни емоции и поднесени по типичния за автора сладкодумен начин... ❤️
„— Октомври — ахна той. — Боже мой, така обичам октомврийските вечери, да ги поглъщам, да ги вдишвам, да усещам миризмата им. Да, наистина месецът е шантав и тъжен. Светът пламва през октомври.“

Ray Bradbury and "We'll Always Have Paris" have blown me totally away!!!
After my readings, I'm so sad to have come at the end of it..
I wish for this enchanted collection of short stories that they should have never ended..
Bradbury and his stories have accomplished that I've been crying like a child, and also laughing wild !!
They have brought me to dream, to see new universes of moods and colors, to discover feelings deep inside of me which were asleep!!!
What a wonderful collection, I'm entranced, I'm enchanted, I'm still in another world!!!
"We'll Always Have Paris" is full saturated and dropping with love, warm feelings, mellancholie, longings, and magic..
This collection of short stories raise in the reader's heart the cravings and longings for a world that doesn't exists anymore but that nevertheless it's a hunting world and with the power of calling and provoking secret and deep hidden wishes and dreams..
Bradbury has the gift of letting see you ordinary things and circumstances also people in another light, and with different eyes!!!
You can name it as you wish, but I call this: MAGIC!!!!
**"The Visit"**
**"Arrival and departures"**
**"We'll Always Have Paris"**
This beautiful jewels are some of my favorites..
Please read this for yourself, I don't want to spoil anything at all..
Let this new light pleasently hunt and surprisse you, filling you with marvel, let this stories carry you far away, and foremost the most important thing, fall in love with them; I'm pretty sure that you cannot avoid to do so!!!

Thank god we'll always have Bradbury. And if lucky maybe a promise to go back to París.
Fast paced read. Well written short stories. High quality literature. Bradbury is a true genius.
We'll Always Have Paris may refer to a famous line in the film Casablanca, but with this, Bogart and Bergman have to allow Bradbury his share on this pop culture reference...
Full of nostalgia and approaching different perspectives of a modern life, Bradbury, faithful to his good old style, is capable to show a human side of a self sufficient society...
A must read for fans...

Bradbury is Bradbury, of course, and a few of these stories are top-tier Bradbury. Most of the remainder are so-so, and a couple felt like B-side material. The good stories, especially the first one, stuck with me; but though most of the others were cute, drew a smile, gave a shiver, & were enjoyable to read once, I've already forgotten them.

I just finished the last page of Ray Bradbury’s “We’ll Always Have Paris.” Though my reading taste in fiction favors crime thrillers, Bradbury’s recent death compelled me to read this collection of never-before-published stories. I felt I owed it to Bradbury, whose Fahrenheit 451 had a profound impact on my life so many years ago; its message of the critical importance of independent thought within society still burning bright in my gut. “We’ll Always Have Paris” has its feet rooted bare in Mother Earth, its heart racing to embrace the stars. The stories both celebrate and mourn the human experience. Bradbury delivers laughter and tears, hope and despair, courage and fear, love and loneliness. There were moments as I read when I could hear the relentless ticking of the clock that marches each and every one of us from the cradle to the grave. The fictional stories in “We’ll Always Have Paris” may be short in length; but the emotions that Bradbury’s words convey are deep, real, and haunting.

Honestly, I was disappointed in this book. I'm a little bit of a Bradbury fanatic so I hate to have to say that. There were a few stories I liked (I'm partial to his space stories), but most of them felt flat and overly sentimental.

Principalmente nos encontraremos con personajes comunes de la vida cotidiana que se enfrentaran a hechos insólitos, muchos de ellos surreales en donde el autor hace un viaje a las profundidades de la mente. Todos son cuentos breves, pero intensos con una narración directa que nos harán reflexionar sobre temas como el amor, el matrimonio, la vida, la muerte y muchos más.
En lo personal me gustaron mucho La visita, Llegada y salida, Mamá Perkins viene para quedarse, Lejos de casa y Charla de desalmohada.

Along with other reviewers I suggest that Ray Bradbury ‘s We’ll always have Paris is best for his fans and a risk as a starting point. It is a fair enough family read although for the pre-YA, mom or dad may wish to read ahead. The title story for example is not exactly a typical an American in Paris romance. It is built around what may have been or was almost a homosexual experience. Bradbury was a skilled shaper of images and words. His ability to craft moods is here present but unfortunately is not foremost. The result are some wonderful passages but too much about plot or character. This is not where you find the best of Bradbury.
Several of the stories are quite touching. The first short is about a man who lives a very marginal life, but for him very full. He has a certain magic about him, but also a certain madness. Touching and humane and the mood is to the feather’s tip the mark of a master story teller.
At the time The Visit was written the ability to perform life saving organ transplants was new. By now we can read many first-person accounts from the patients and the donator family. Just so, the Visit is a warm speculation on what may have gone with the experience.
Opening the book at random I see Ma Perkins Comes to Stay. A humorous speculation on an America where fictional media figures are more real than the people with whom one lives and works. Certainly no one has had that experience in their real lives… Right?
Another random look and I see Last Laugh. I read it but it left no mark in my memory.
Later is Pieta’s Summer. This reads like an actual memory. A time when the arrival of the circus was a major event. One likely to shut down a town and where the kids would gladly come and volunteer hard work just to be near the excitement. For almost all of us this is a time past and for this to be lamented.
We’ll Always have Paris has pages to savor and enjoy and may be a nice summer read. Mostly it will be forgotten. Rather like a summer romance, minus the heartbreak. Otherwise Ray Bradbury wrote other short stories. His best will linger in your memory.

Уникални и изключително красиви разкази. Докато четеш ти се струва, че нещо изпускаш, докато не стигнеш до последните 1/2 абзаца, когато цялата история се изяснява. "Убийството", "Некреватен разговор", "Посещението", "Париж завинаги", "Избягай с мен", "Огризка писка", "Ако е писано пътищата да се пресекат отново" бих ги прочела отново и бих поела всяка една дума и история отново и отново.

5 días y 205 páginas después. Tenía que leer algo de Bradbury para cerrar el mes de mayo. Este libro fue un regalo muy especial hace meses atrás y desde entonces lo he estado reservando. Lo mejor se lee en mayo.
Había leído diferentes historias cortas de Bradbury: de ciencia ficción, de novela negra, de ficción y ahora estás que son una especie de realismo-dramatismo. El señor Bradbury era un excelente narrador en toda la extensión de la palabra.
Son veintiún relatos y un poema inedito. De los 21, tuve 8 que me gustaron más que los demás. Creo que mi favorito fue "Charla de desalmohada", y los que son imperdibles son: la visita, siempre nos quedará París, mamá Perkins viene para quedarse (mi segundo favorito), Lejos de casa (remembrando a Marte), Venga conmigo, El reencarnado y si los caminos vuelven a cruzarse.
Me pareció un libro bastante ligero, que pude intercalar con otro. Las historias te enganchan a los pocos renglones, aunque muy honestamente hay algunas que se me hicieron demasiado absurdas. Pero la mayoría están buenas.
Y recuerden siempre nos quedará París para visitar... Con el amor de tu vida. Según las tradiciones.

Todos los años leo a Ray Bradbury. Es como una especie de chequeo para mi mente, mi alma y mi corazón por cursi que suene. Lo siento, no es humildad ni nada parecido, es la verdad. Bradbury me da la vida en muchos sentidos. Sus palabras me acompañan cuando estoy nostálgico, triste, feliz o melancólico.
"Siempre nos quedará París" es una colección de cuentos del autor estadounidense. Se aleja de la ciencia ficción y el terror en la mayoría de ellos. En todos, en cambio, Bradbury muestra un carácter lírico y un talante etéreo.
Hay auténticas joyitas en sus páginas y, aunque no he roto a llorar con el final (como me pasó con "Crónicas marcianas"), sí creo que ha sido uno de esos chequeos que merecen la pena: me ha dado preguntas, luz, entretenimiento, reflexión y, por supuesto, París. Eso solo te lo otorga alguien que te quiere y no podemos desperdiar a aquellos que nos aman, tenemos que amarles de vuelta. Gracias, maestro.

Leer a Bradbury siempre es un placer. Sin embargo, y como sucede con muchas antologías de relatos, el interés de dichos relatos es oscilante y no todos han logrado atraparme por igual. Además, esta antología está compuesta por relatos de aquí y de allá (el propio autor lo confirma en el prólogo) y eso hace que no se perciban como una unidad coherente, donde historias de corte sobrenatural (mis favoritas, lo admito) se cruzan con historias costumbristas (basadas en vivencias propias del autor), y la extraña mezcla no me termina de redondear.
Al margen de preferencias personales, el libro se disfruta, se lee rápido y la prosa de Bradbury es, como siempre, poética y ensoñadora, con ese punto “otoñal” y melancólico que tanto adoro de sus libros.

July 11, 2018
Desde la introducción se deja en claro que esta colección de 'cuentos' es una serie de relatos sin un proceso minucioso previo al proceso de edición.
Me encontré con una narración, donde a pesar de la traducción, se lee la estructura de pensamiento de una persona adulta que sabe el andar de la vida: logros y frustraciones, el amor y el consuelo, tomar decisiones o esperar un evento fortuito, forzar el contexto o apostar por principios.
De hecho, entrelanzando 'Si los caminos vuelven a cruzarse' , 'Charla Desalmohada' y 'Encuentro literario', se genera una historia que me hubiera encantado vivir.
Pero ¡Qué va!.
La literatura es nuestra* realidad construída sobre cachetadas de ficción ¿no?
...
- Lo siento.
- Mucho - dije yo
* - ¿ Quizá en otra vida?
* - Quiza en otra vida.

"Париж завинаги" е сборник с разкази на американския писател Рей Бредбъри. Самият той за себе си казва:
„Баща ми е Жул Верн. Хърбърт Уелс е мъдрият ми чичо. Едгър Алан По е братовчедът ми с крила на прилеп, когото държим в таванската стаичка. Флаш Гордън и Бък Роджърс са ми братя и приятели. Това е моето потекло. Като се прибави естествено и фактът, че Мери Улстънкрафт, авторката на „Франкенщайн“, ми е майка.“
Рей е в личния ми топ 5 на любими писатели и с огромно удоволствие чета всяко нещо, което е излязло изпод перото му. Сигурен се, че дори и списък с покупки, написан от него, ще прочета с наслада. Продължава на https://reviews-bg.blogspot.com/2020/...

En esta oportunidad Ray Bradbury nos regala una colección de relatos creados por el yo que observa y el yo que escribe, pues como bien lo dice el autor, estos relatos nacieron de impulsos y la explosión de ideas, siendo la vida, su fuente de inspiración.
El libro consta de 21 relatos, fáciles de leer y disfrutar. La pluma del autor no deja de conmoverme y sorprenderme, enganchándome fácilmente con cada una de sus historias. Algunos de los relatos son bastante cortos y otros no tanto.
Recomiendo este libro a los amantes de los relatos, pues estoy segura que muchos de ellos, los sorprenderán mucho.

За пореден път се изумявам и притихвам пред тоя грандизоен талант. Същински майстор! Винаги когато захвана нещо на Бредбъри от страниците се излива такова желание за живот, че човек не може да избяга от усещането за вдъхновение. Поредното велико сборище от думи.
Имаше само един или два разказа, които не харесах от този сборник. И то по простата причина, че стояха незавършено - добри идеи, но оставени в зародиш. Говоря по-специално за "Убийството". Историята беше толкова добра, че спокойно могат да се добавят към разказа поне още 10-15 страници.

Something about Ray Bradbury's writing just enchants me. His stories are so different from everything else I have read, it is clear that he is not writing for money or from habit - he writes because these are the stories he needs to tell. He writes about human nature and that's what makes his stories hit so close to home. One could get lost in his words because his writing style is purely magical. This is why I love RB and why I will always enjoy reading whatever he has produced.

La esencia de Ray Bradbury está intacta en esta colección de relatos, sin embargo algo que me sorprendió mucho fue encontrarme con un punto de vista muy moderno y de mente abierta. En uno de sus relatos no pude evitar derramar lágrimas, así de mucho me gustó.

A few hits in a sea of misses. Maybe I need to have grown up in small-town America, where most of these stories try to evoke a feeling of, to really appreciate the feeling of these short little stories. From my rainy British city perspective, it felt like reading a bunch of Cohen Brothers or Wes Anderson scripts - beautiful screenplays with meandering plots that have no real ending or meaning, just a feeling.
My favourites were "Pieta Summer", a cosy and comforting story, and "If Paths Must Cross Again", quite a mournful and wistful one.

Este es el primer libro que leo de Bradbury (quizás por lo mismo esta revisón no es tan halagüeña) y me dejó con sentimientos encontrados. En definitiva este es un escritor con sentido del humor, logra que la mayoria de los textos incluidos en la antología sean entretenidos. No sé si quepa el adjetivo, pero es un cuentista eficiente. Hay un par de textos que me parecen extraordinarios. Sin embargo algunos me parecieron inacabados o mal rematados y otros, los más, que pasan sin pena ni gloria. Es un antología heterogenea y encontramos "N" tematicas en ella, lo que la hace dispareja, pero no aburrida. Creo que tengo que leer más de él para entender su visión y quizás revalorar este primer acercamiento.

In “On Writing”, Stephen King wrote: “When I was reading Bradbury, everything I wrote was smeared with the lens of nostalgia."
As a master of short fiction, Bradbury’s concise, whimsical stories are littered with yearnings for the past - a trademark carved inside his work.
In this collection, most tales are minute, and centered on character's conversations - mostly couples, often engaged in philosophical, wandering arguments.
Even though far from his best collection, it’s still an alluring book, highlighting him as one of the best popular writers of the 20th century.

I'm not the biggest fan of short stories. Within this collection, I enjoyed some more than others, but there were no stand out stories that were particularly amazing, or particularly bad. Having said that, I enjoyed the first half of the collection more than the latter half. I'll definitely be reading more from Ray Bradbury in the future.

3.5 🌟
Bradbury en esta ocasión nos regala una colección de relatos, el libro en realidad consta de 21 relatos súper fáciles de leer. Algunos me han gustado más que otros, son cosas cotidianas pero más dramatizadas, sin duda sí lo recomiendo.
Mis favoritos fueron:
“Charla de desalmohada”(definitiva es mi favorito de todos)
“La visita”
“Siempre nos quedará París “
“Venga conmigo”
Es un libro muy ágil, especialmente para intercalarlo con otras lecturas. Tenía semanas agarrando un libro y soltándolo y agarrando otro, este me saco de ese “bache” donde no quería leer nada.
