About the author

In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

~ A Sound of Thunder
This is how a short story should be told, a universe encapsulated in less than 3000 words. This is the work of a master.
I haven't used them as yet (will do so in the Fall semester). I believe the books will help me to combine the challenge of authenticity along with the excitement of reading a 'sizeable' piece of literature.
Thank you!

La storia di per sé è breve, ma quanto basta per entrare vividamente nell'immaginazione del lettore. Imperdibile per i fan del genere, non ci sono scusanti che reggano, va assolutamente letto.
Questa edizione inoltre, come si può notare dall'editore, è stata pensata per un uso didattico, metà libricino è dedicata al racconto in sé, l'altra a domande varie sulla comprensione del testo, insomma per il prezzo pagato è una piccola chicca invero.
