Ray Douglas Bradbury was an American author and screenwriter. One of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers, he worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction.

Bradbury is best known for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and his short-story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950), The Illustrated Man (1951), and The October Country (1955). Other notable works include the coming of age novel Dandelion Wine (1957), the dark fantasy Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) and the fictionalized memoir Green Shadows, White Whale (1992). He also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted into television and film productions as well as comic books. Bradbury also wrote poetry which has been published in several collections, such as They Have Not Seen the Stars (2001).

The New York Times called Bradbury "An author whose fanciful imagination, poetic prose, and mature understanding of human character have won him an international reputation" and "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream".

Empieza muy bien pero luego ya hay cuentos peores y mejores. La traducción mala. El audiolibro muy bueno.


¿El llamar 'escala' a la escalera es el nuevo 'pretender' para fingir??
Con lo bueno que es el autor y lo que lo maltratan las editoriales en España, ¡qué pena!

Ha sido un acierto total, uno de esos libros que se disfrutan a sorbitos, un autor que utiliza la fantasía como un vehículo para la psicología profunda y la crítica social. Él entiende que la tecnología no es la amenaza, sino la caja de resonancia que acentúa nuestra vulnerabilidad e inseguridades. ¿La tecnología viene a aligerar la carga o dar más neurosis al ser humano? Bradbury te está pidiendo que respondas esta pregunta. Sus cuentos sugieren que, al aligerar la carga física, la tecnología nos deja con demasiado tiempo libre para nuestra neurosis, acentuando la soledad, el vacío emocional y el miedo a la irrelevancia. ¿Tú que opinas? Una delicia de lectura para disfrutar de a poquito.

Llevo años tratando de que me guste Ray Bradbury. Pues bien. Ya tengo claro que no me gusta nada. Tiene cuentos que no están mal, pero los que se desarrollan en el espacio me parecen insufribles. En el caso de este libro no he podido pasar del sexto relato.

Fantástica, necesaria y definitva antología. Estupendo trabajo de edición y traducción, por fin tenemos a Bradbury con una voz única. Enhorabuena. Una gozada.
