We'll Always Have Paris: Stories by Ray Bradbury (English) Paperback Book

Description: We'll Always Have Paris by Ray Bradbury Over the course of a storied literary career that has spanned more than half a century, Ray Bradbury has taken us to wonderful places: across vast oceans to foreign lands, onto summer porches of small-town America, through dark and dangerous forests where predators wait, into the hypnotic mists of dream, back to a halcyon past to remember, forward into an exhilarating future, and rocketing through outer space. In "Well Always Have Paris"--a new collection of never-before-published stories--the inimitable Bradbury once again does what few writers have ever done as well. He delights us with prose that soars and sings. He surprises and inspires, exposing truths and provoking deep thought. He imagines great things and poignantly observes human foibles and frailties. He enchants us with the magic he mastered decades ago and still performs flawlessly. In these pages, radio voices become indomitable flesh and the dead arise to recapture life. There is joy in an eccentric old mans dance for the world and wonder over the workings of humankinds best friend, O Holy Dog. Whether hes exploring the myriad ways to be reborn, or the circumstances that can make any man a killer, or returning us to Mars, Bradbury opens the world to us and beckons us in. Get ready to travel far and wide once again with Americas preeminent storyteller. His tales will live forever. We will always have Bradbury--and for that reason, we are eternally blessed.
