The October country stories

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. America's 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 CountryThe 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 wings of Uncle Einar.

  • "Quince de los cuentos incluidos en esta colección fueron escritos antes de mi vigésimo sexto cumpleaños y publicados por la Editorial Arkham House de August Derleth, en mi primer libro, Dark Carnival. Este libro ha estado agotado durante varios años y me es muy grato que los Editores de Ballantine Books me den la oportunidad de seleccionar, ordenar y en algunos casos, reescrbir mis cuentos preferidos entre mis primeros trabajos. A mis lectores más recientes El País de Octubre presentará un aspecto de mi literatura que probablemente no les es familiar, y un tipo de cuento que he escrito raramente desde 1946. Recordando aquellos años no puedo dejar de expresar otra vez mi gratitud a August Derleth, que fue mi primer editor, y a mis tenaces y pacientes maestros Leigth Brackett y Henry Kuttner."@es

  • "Collection of nineteen fantasy horror stories by Bradbury, pointing out the world's insanities, disorders, and hang-ups."
  • ""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 man's most cherished fantasy can be fulfilled night after night. Each of the stories in Ray Bradbury's masterful collection is a wonder, imagined by an acclaimed tale-teller writing from a place of shadows. But there is astonishing beauty here as well, born from a prose that enchants and enthralls, that chills like a long-after-midnight wind, that lifts the reader high above a sleeping Earth on strange wings."--Page 4 of cover."@en
  • "Ordinary people are caught up in unreal situations in these 19 strange stories.

America's 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 man's most cherished fantasy can be fulfilled night after night. The October Country's 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 woman's newborn child can plot murder; and a man's 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 shadows. But there is astonishing beauty in these shadows, born from a prose that enchants and enthralls. Ray Bradbury's The 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 wings of Uncle Einar."@en
