Book Overview

The Martian Chronicles , a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage, is available from Simon & Schuster for the first time. In The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury, America's preeminent storyteller, imagines a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor-- of crystal pillars and fossil seas--where a fine dust settles on the great empty cities of a vanished, devastated civilization. Earthmen conquer Mars and then are conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race. In this classic work of fiction, Bradbury exposes our ambitions, weaknesses, and ignorance in a strange and breathtaking world where man does not belong.

A first person view of what the ole south was really like for poor blacks.

The young writer’s account is very interesting and detailed,her story is gripping. I really liked her perseverance and determination. I didn’t care for ways in which the poor were treated but it was the ole Jim Crow South,so that’s expected. I think schools should require young children to read the book,if nothing else to see the struggle of our people:some as young as they are now.

Worthwhile read about the painful struggle towards equality

Anne Moody chronicles her life from early childhood through college graduation, and recounts how a highly intelligent and very impoverished young black girl experienced racial division in the Deep South. Through her eyes, we observe societal norms in the Jim Crow years, and come to understand that despite the obvious inequality neither blacks nor whites were entirely comfortable with the process of change. Throughout the book,...

The Road and Heartship of a Journey To Fairness For All People

This book should be read by everyone. This book shows the evil of racism. It also shows that people of all races share the common need to be loved and respected. These two things are so easy to show people. But, sadly some chose to hate others because of skin color. We don't have to look down on some else for others to look up to us.

Searing, Honest Portrait of the Civil Rights Movement

This is an excellent autobiography, written by a committed black civil rights worker from a poor, Mississippi family. It is unique in that it shows what the movement was like not for its famous leaders, but for the those unknown, rank-and-file activists who regularly risked their lives to achieve social change. The book reveals what deep-south living conditions were like both before and during the civil rights movement,...

An Aged Mississippian

This book is very moving and touching. Anne Moody's autobiography, "Coming of Age in Mississippi" is a wonderful book that tells the story of Anne's struggles growing up poor and black in the rural south. The author captures the reader's attention in the first few paragraphs using some slang dialect. We had vivid pictures in our minds of what was happening in the story through all of the use of imagery. There is a vivid...
