PHILOSOPHICAL FEATURES IN The Martian Chronicles ...
EVERY TIME THAT I READ The Martian Chronicles ,I ENCOUNTER NEW PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES.........LIKE NIETZSCHE.............PANTHEISM............EXISTENTIALISM...............I WANT to KNOW OTHER PERSPECTIVES THAT OTHER READERS HAVE AND THE REASONS ABOUT THEIR PROPOSAL

THANK YOU!!!

Are you reading all these works in their original language or in a spanish translation?

Are you looking for some sort of "tree" that branches out of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES?

Do you inquire as to whom may have been Bradbury's influence or who was influenced by Bradbury's work?

What story from the collection can you tie to other works, by other authors?

"The Martian Chronicles" cannot be read outside the context of the plundering by Western culture of other cultures. The European desecration of Greece, Egypt, India, you name it, and the destruction of Native American homelands by descendants of European immigrants. Read the accounts and weep!
