    A must-have for die-hard sci-fi fans and aspiring writers!
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021*

Ray Bradbury truly is an impressive author not just because of how prolific he is, but because of how committed he is to each of his ideas. As demonstrated by this collection, Bradbury is a jack of all trades, from enthralling sci-fi masterpieces such as "A Sound of Thunder" and "Frost and Fire" to gut-wrenching, very personal pieces like "The Lake."This particular collection, in itself, is a masterclass of the art and craft of story. For example: in "The Night," a second-person point-of-view puts you in the shoes of a boy in the 1920s, and you feel just as scared as he is when his brother suspiciously doesn't come home on time; and in "There Will Come Soft Rains," the complete absence of living characters captures the bleakness of a fully-operational dwelling place crumbling to the ground in the fallout of nuclear war.Definitely give this one a look. His stories may not be for everyone, but it is absolutely worth one's time and attention.

    A trip back in time

Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was one of my first favorite authors.  I read all of his available books in the library when I was in junior high in the late Sixties, and he was a huge influence on me.  I look forward to reading Bradbury again after all these years -- the current volume was originally compiled in 1980, and first published in the Everyman's Library in 2010.  100 stories and over 1000 pages!My "Bradbury period" followed Tom Swift Jr. and H.G. Wells.  Other favorites I soon discovered included Clifford D. Simak, Roger Zelazny, and R.A. Lafferty.  I read huge amounts of science fiction in junior high and into high school.  I was always dissatisfied with the world-as-it-is and searched for other possibilities in speculative fiction.The Ray Bradbury books I read back in the day included:  The Martian Chronicles (1950), The Illustrated Man (1951), Fahrenheit 451 (1953), The Golden Apples of the Sun (1953), Dandelion Wine (1957), Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962), R is for Rocket (1962), and S is for Space (1966).  There may have been others, but those I clearly remember.What imagination!  And what beautiful writing.

Going into this collection, you need to know two things Bradbury seems to hate: Technology, and happy endings.Many of his works look at the emerging technology (in some cases, this is television) and project some horrid future based on it. The rest just find some other reason for the world to be terrible and the characters to be miserable. All Summer in a Day is the saddest story I remember from childhood. The world of Bradbury's stories is bleak, abysmal, often tyrranical, and over the course of the story, more often than not, things only get worse. I have yet to encounter a story of his where the characters end up happy.They are also throught provoking, and often there is a layer of story beneath the story. The Veldt is especially interesting because you can read it two ways. Peter and Wendy's VR system (and that really was was the nursery was) suddenly produced physical objects from nowhere, with no hardware by which to do so, and without the inventors or manufacturers knowing it has that capability, or the parents, who didn't even investigate screams in their own home, were nuts. It's a different, even darker story if you question the sanity of these parents and of a psychitrist who claims to have never encountered a fact in his life.This is a good collection, containing a large number of his most famous, most celebrated works. It's a great introduction and a great addition to the collection of any fan.The list of stories in this collection:Drunk, and in Charge of a BicycleThe NightHomecomingUncle EinerThe TravelerThe LakeThe CoffinThe CrowdThe SkytheThere Was an Old WomanThere Will Come Soft Rains (my favorite)Mars Is HeavenThe Silent TownsThe Earth MenThe Off SeasonThe Million-Year PicnicThe Fox and the ForestKaleidoscopeThe Rocket ManMarionettes, IncNo Particular Night or MorningThe CityThe Fire BalloonsThe Last Night of the WorldThe VeldtThe Long RainThe Great FireThe WildernessA Sound of ThunderThe MurdererThe April WitchInvisible BoyThe Golden Kite, the Silver WindThe Fog HornThe Big Black and White GameEmbroideryThe Golden Apples of the SunPowerhouseHail and FarewellThe Great Wide World over ThereThe PlaygroundSkeletonThe Man UpstairsTouched with FireThe EmissaryThe JarThe Small AssassinThe Next in LineJack-in-the-BoxThe Leave-TakingExorcismThe Happness MachineCalling MexicoThe Wonderful Ice Cream SuitDark They Were, and Golden-EyesThe Strawberry WindowA Scent of SarsaparillaThe Picasso SummerThe Day it Rained ForeverA Medicine for MelancholyThe Shoreline at SunsetFever DreamThe Town Where No One Got OffAll Summer in a Day (This story is heartbreaking)Frost and FireThe Anthem SprintersAnd So Died RiabouchinskaBoys!
