The Martian Chronicles 1

Professor Kozlowski discusses the first half of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, examining how Bradbury deconstructs the typical adventure-to-another-planet story, how he presents the dying Martian civilization as a mirror to our own, and how Bradbury navigates the complicated issues of colonization, imperialism, and human ambition.
