In lyrical prose, Bradbury describes the decline of the mysterious and fragile Martian civilization, overwhelmed by the human newcomers. Bradbury reads these tales of common people - families, truck-stop owners, priests - who confront a new world with their human pride, fears, tenderness, and greed intact. And at the heart of each story lies the basic conflict between man's search for new frontiers and his irresistible urge for the comfort of the past.
Where does The Martian Chronicles rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Bradbury's commentary and explanation of this collection of stories lends so much to the telling.,.He's alternately at time sentimental, pessimistic, optimistic, and prescient.
