The planet Mars by Bradbury is a place of hope, dreams, and poetic transport - crystalline columns and fossilized seas - where a thin veil of dust covers the empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. This is the place where invaders from Earth come to plunder and commodify it, to develop and learn from it, bringing with them their ancient fears and deepest desires. First in small groups and then like a torrent, rushing from a world on the brink of destruction towards a promise for tomorrow. Man from Earth conquers Mars... and in turn, is conquered by the Red Planet. The strange new world with its ancient dying race and vast golden-red deserts enchanted him, infiltrated his dreams, and changed him forever.

"The Chronicles of Mars" is a classic work of 20th-century literature; its power and imagination have not faded over time. Through interconnected stories in chronological order, a true master of storytelling captivates, delights, and challenges us to confront his vision and heart - leaving our courage, vulnerability, superficiality, and painful humanity exposed to the bright astral light, in a strange and fascinating world where "humanity" abounds.
