Esta es una colección de cuentos cortos de ciencia ficción, ingeniosamente improvisados ​​para formar una novela coherente y muy legible sobre una futura colonización de Marte. A medida que las historias avanzan cronológicamente, el autor cuenta cómo los primeros humanos colonizaron Marte, compartiendo inicialmente el planeta con un puñado de marcianos. Cuando la Tierra es devastada por una guerra nuclear, la colonia debe valerse por sí misma y los colonos deciden construir una nueva Tierra en Marte.

Excellent prose

Full of Bradbury's style of rich writing. Some definite allegory between martians and native peoples of North America, and not trying to be subtle about it.

Also in Bradbury fashion, one especially fat-phobic story in here. Actually his cruellest one, I think--at least by my reading. While I'm problematizing, his characterization of many women as delicate pale flowers and such is a bit disheartening, but that's also kind of Bradbury.

Despite these gripes, it's a varied and nourishing collecting of short stories, stitched together in a much much more coherent fashion than I would have thought (my understanding is that these were written separately over the course of many years).

Someone expecting sci-fi might be disappointed by the lack of sci, but if you know what Ray's about already, then you'll likely enjoy this a lot.
