The Golden Apples of the Sun

Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here are 32 of his most famous tales - prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry that Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits that spring from the canvas of one of the century's great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a 60-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own. “The Fog Hornâ€Â---Track 1 “The April Witchâ€Â---Track 8 “The Wildernessâ€Â---Track 16 “The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowlâ€Â---Track 23 “The Flying Machineâ€Â---Track 6 “The Murdererâ€Â---Track 10 “The Golden Kite, the Silver Windâ€Â---Track 17 “I See You Neverâ€Â---Track 21 “Embroideryâ€Â---Track 24 “The Big Black and White Gameâ€Â---Track 1 “The Great Wide World Over Thereâ€Â---Track 9 “Powerhouseâ€Â---Track 18 “En La Nocheâ€Â---Track 1 “Sun and Shadowâ€Â---Track 4 “The Meadowâ€Â---Track 10 “The Garbage Collectorâ€Â---Track 22 “The Great Fireâ€Â---Track 1 “The Golden Apples of the Sunâ€Â---Track 6 “R Is for Rocketâ€Â---Track 12 “The End of the Beginningâ€Â---Track 24 “The Rocketâ€Â---Track 1 “The Rocket Manâ€Â---Track 9 “A Sound of Thunderâ€Â---Track 18 “The Long Rainâ€Â---Track 3 “The Exilesâ€Â---Track 13 “Here There Be Tygersâ€Â---Track 24 “The Strawberry Windowâ€Â---Track 10 “The Dragonâ€Â---Track 18 “Frost and Fireâ€Â---Track 20 “Uncle Einarâ€Â---Track 7 “The Time Machineâ€Â---Track 14 “The Sound of Summer Runningâ€Â---Track 21
