This collection is excellent proof that we still haven’t uncovered all of the Great Master’s legacy. Whatever Bradbury wrote about—Mars, the Wild West, robots, or flights into space—he always wrote about the closest and dearest: childhood, memory, fantasies, and kindness.
Published in Russian for the first time, these stories and poems not only outline the arc across the writer’s entire creative biography, but also let us look inside his imagination. The world changed—so did fears, dreams, and prejudices. And Ray Bradbury, with the sensitivity of an artist, captured these changes. The world changed—and together with it, thanks to Bradbury.
