Synopsis "Cronicas Marcianas (in Spanish)"

Esta colección de relatos reúne la crónica de la colonización de Marte por parte de una humanidad que abandona la Tierra en sucesivas oleadas de cohetes plateados y sueña con reproducir en el Planeta Rojo una civilización de perritos calientes, cómodos sofás y limonada en el porche al atardecer. Pero los colonos también traen en su equipaje las enfermedades que diezmarán a los marcianos y mostrarán muy poco respeto por una cultura planetaria, misteriosa y fascinante, que éstos intentarán proteger ante la rapacidad de los terrícolas. Escritas en la década de 1940 y situadas en el lejano futuro que comienza en 1999, estas historias, aparentemente sencillas, sirven de excusa para que Bradbury se sumerja en los misterios del alma humana y desarrolle una de las hazañas más apasionantes de la humanidad.'

Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois, USA. During the Great Depression, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he graduated in 1938 from Los Angeles High School. His academic education ended there, but he continued to educate himself until he became a professional writer in 1943. His most famous works are "The Martian Chronicles" (1950), "The Illustrated Man" (1951), and "Fahrenheit 451" (1953). Bradbury has also written countless TV scripts, essays, and poems in addition to novels. His concern as a writer not only focuses on questioning the current way of life, but also delves into the realm of the fantastic and wonderful, with a poetic and sometimes provocative style. In his childhood, Bradbury was very prone to nightmares and horrible fantasies, which he later captured in his stories many years later.
