Ray Douglas Bradbury


Yesterday I finished rereading three volumes of Bradbury. At the end of the third volume, as usual, it was a review recovering a story of his success. It turns out to be that at first when they were finished his "Martian Chronicles" were refused by publishers. And then he got lucky. At the next publishing house his manuscript went in the hands of the editor by the name ... Bradbury. The author of the review does not claim that the publisher's only motive was the writer's name. But still ... Immediately after the release of "Chronicles" Bradbury became famous and the publisher got the impressive profit. The following books already came with subtitles "From the author of The Martian Chronicles".
