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.EAN: 9781451678192Package Dimensions: Height: 6.75 Inches, Length: 4.125 Inches, Weight: 0.26014546916 Pounds, Width: 0.8 InchesLanguages: en Show more
