"WE EARTHMEN ARE SKILLED AT DESTROYING BIG AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS."

Ray Bradbury is one of the masters of not only science fiction but also fantasy literature and horror in the twentieth century. Maybe he proves that science fiction can also be "good literature" Mars Annals , published in 1950, is one of the most naive and darkest works written about humanity.

The first rockets land on the hopeful red planet to leave the Earth, which is struggling with problems in the shadow of atomic wars. When they do, the passengers face unexpected problems. They are not alone on Mars.

Martians are shape-shifting, mind-reading creatures that have reached a certain level of development, and it will not be easy for these unwanted visitors to establish a new life there, as Bradbury describes it. Sometimes dramatic expressions also take place here. Ideas such as racism and humanism find their place on Mars. The author literally confronts history and humanity.

Mars Annals , one of the most important works of science fiction literature, tells the reader in a harsh and striking way that humanity cannot escape the ultimate enemy no matter where it goes: itself.
