Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was a celebrated American author and screenwriter, renowned for his inventive science fiction and fantasy works. His most famous novel, “Fahrenheit 451” (1953), portrays a dystopian society in which books are prohibited and burned. Other significant works include “The Martian Chronicles” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes”. In addition to his novels, Bradbury wrote screenplays for films such as “Moby Dick” and “King of Kings” and contributed to television shows like “The Twilight Zone”. A fervent advocate for public libraries and intellectual freedom, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2004 for his contributions to literature. Although widely regarded as one of the greatest science-fiction writers of the twentieth century, Bradbury preferred to identify himself as a ‘fantasy writer’ or simply as a ‘writer’.
