Ray Bradbury was born in 1920 in the city of Waukegan, Illinois. His childhood was spent in this small town where only the nightmares caused by his active fantasy were something to fear. Otherwise, a common family, the warm wind and the insignificant machines of that time that made him dream ...
During the Depression his family moved to California. There, after finishing high school, the young man bradbury began to work, just like that. Between the ages of 18 and 22, he sold newspapers on the streets of Los Angeles. Little by little, over time, his stories made their way around the world, first in small literary magazines and then in books with his signature.
The 40s saw him write, work on his style, publish, and get married.
In 1950 his most famous book appeared: Martian Chronicless, a fantastic story that says more about the American society of the time, about its fears, dreams and flaws, than about the future in outer space.
In 1953 the other famous book of bradbury, Fahrenheit 451. The successes of this book in its approach to phenomena such as television, consumer society, the American dream, totalitarianism and democracy, have made it a work that remains as current today as the first day it was released. .
While bradbury is (re) known as a science fiction writer, his work transcends those limits. And he does it, for example, when the writer leaves the region of the Science fiction and he walks through other genres, or when he brings from the outside elements that modernize the stories about the future (poetry is his most mentioned import).
Ray Bradbury He is also the author of a large number of stories and novels, among them the most prominent are The illustrated manor (1951), Summer wine (1957) and Remedy for melancholic (1960)
It has won numerous awards, has been translated into various languages, made into a film, and called Maestro for generations.
Ray Bradbury He is ninety years old today, he lives in California and I would give my right arm to chat for a while with him on the internet, for example.
I find the analysis interesting that Bradbury is not only a science fiction writer, but also delves into other types of genres. For me, the variety is the taste. Excellent work
This writing is very complete, only that it lacks the date of birth of the Lord, and more about his dedication to writing.
something that is indisputable is bradbury's fabulous way of relating his books.
the way that with pure words transports you as if you were the person who was living that moment.
the lord deserves all the honors and all the respect.
now with appreciation and dedication ...

very good quality of information search.
Ray, in my opinion, is one of the best science fiction writers.
he has an incredible ability to make you "fly" into the scenarios he describes.
