Mucho más que un autor de ciencia ficción, Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) es uno de los grandes narradores del siglo xx. Maestro absoluto del relato, su obra ha influido en generaciones de escritores y cineastas. Esta edición –la más completa publicada en castellano, preparada por Paul Viejo y traducida por Ce Santiago– reúne desde sus cuentos más representativos, los clásicos de Crónicas marcianas o El hombre ilustrado, entre otros, hasta joyas menos frecuentadas o versiones nunca antes traducidas de algunos títulos, para trazar una imagen total.

Organizado cronológicamente, este volumen con más de un centenar de cuentos permite seguir la evolución estilística y temática de un creador inimitable que escribió sobre Marte como si hablara de la Tierra, sobre el futuro para explorar la memoria, sobre los veranos interminables de la infancia y sobre casas que piensan, sobre el miedo sin recurrir al sobresalto y también sobre máquinas que aman y sueñan. La literatura de Ray Bradbury –lírica, hipnótica, pero, sobre todo, inconfundible–, a medio camino entre la fábula, lo fantástico, la alegoría, el suspense y la melancolía, desafía los géneros y atraviesa generaciones de lectores.

Un volumen ineludible. Una constelación abierta.
Mucho más que un autor de ciencia ficción. Todo un clásico.

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".
