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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRay Bradbury\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than three dozen books, including \u003ci\u003eFahrenheit 451\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Illustrated Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDandelion Wine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSomething Wicked This Way Comes\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as hundreds of short stories.
