October Country by Ray Bradbury (English) Hardcover Book

Description: October Country by Ray Bradbury Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Welcome to a land Ray Bradbury calls "the Undiscovered Country" of his imagination — that vast territory of ideas, concepts, notions, and conceits where the stories you now hold were born. Americas premier living author of short fiction, Bradbury has spent many lifetimes in this remarkable place - strolling through empty, shadow-washed fields at midnight; exploring long-forgotten rooms gathering dust behind doors bolted years ago to keep strangers locked out...and secrets locked in. The nights are longer in this country. The cold hours of darkness move like autumn mists deeper and deeper toward winter. But the moonlight reveals great magic here — and a breathtaking vista.THE OCTOBER COUNTRY is many places: a picturesque Mexican village where death is a tourist attraction; a city beneath the city where drowned lovers are silently reunited; a carnival midway where a tiny mans most cherished fantasy can be fulfilled night after night. THE OCTOBER COUNTRYs inhabitants live, dream, work, die — and sometimes live again — discovering, often too late, the high price of citizenship. Here a glass jar can hold memories and nightmares; a womans newborn child can plot murder; and a mans skeleton can war against him. Here there is no escaping the dark stranger who lives upstairs...or the reaper who wields the world. Each of these stories is a wonder, imagined by an acclaimed tale-teller writing from a place of shadows. But there is astonishing beauty in these shadows, born from a prose that enchants and enthralls. Ray Bradburys OCTOBER COUNTRY is a land of metaphors that can chill like a long-after-midnight wind...as they lift the reader high above a sleeping Earth on the strange wingsof Uncle Einar.
