About this listen
In The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury, America’s preeminent storyteller, imagines a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor—of crystal pillars and fossil seas—where a fine dust settles on the great empty cities of a vanished, devastated civilization. Earthmen conquer Mars and then are conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race. In this classic work of fiction, Bradbury exposes our ambitions, weaknesses, and ignorance in a strange and breathtaking world where man does not belong.
Critic Reviews
"As the book world celebrates the 75th anniversary of Bradbury’s classic, Dion Graham’s stellar narration blasts off with a group of astronauts headed to Mars. The production opens with Graham’s delivery of an editor’s note intended to soften the offensive ideas in Bradbury’s introductory essay, written in 1950, which explains his writing process for these interconnected stories. Set in the future on Mars, the works showcase Graham’s talents. He vocalizes each character with precision and sensitivity. Whether it’s the arrogance of the first astronauts, Ylla sharing her dream about the man from the sky, Father Peregrine seeking redemption for the Martians, or the whispery-voiced Janice discussing her fear of her trip to join her beloved on Mars, Graham imbues each character with an audible soul."
