Ray Bradbury’s contribution to the literary landscape and our collective
imagination made him one of the best-known writers of our time. As a master
storyteller, champion of creative freedom, space-age visionary, and guardian of
the human heart, he has been embraced by millions across many generations and
all walks of life.

To dive into Ray Bradbury’s work is to experience the complex, wondrous, and
often troubling layers of human existence, as well as the possibilities beyond
the limits of a small rocky planet called Earth. In fact, his work has literally
traveled out of this world — a digitized copy of The Martian Chronicles reached
the Red Planet in 2008, aboard NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander.

> “The thing that makes me happy is that I know that on Mars, two hundred years
> from now, my books are going to be read. They’ll be up on dead Mars with no
> atmosphere. And late at night, with a flashlight, some little boy is going to
> peek under the covers and read The Martian Chronicles on Mars.”

Enjoy peeling back each remarkable layer of Bradbury’s life, as well as his
treasured prose — words that grip as each landscape, conflict, and character
emerges from the written page.




"I was warped early by Ray Bradbury... As a young teenager, I devoured Ray
Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451."

MARGARET ATWOOD

"Without Ray Bradbury, there would be no Stephen King."

STEPHEN KING

"I can imagine all kinds of worlds and places, but I cannot imagine a world
without Bradbury."

NEIL GAIMAN

"His gift for storytelling reshaped our culture and expanded our world... Ray
also understood that our imaginations could be used as a tool for better
understanding, a vehicle for change, and an expression of our most cherished
values."

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
