The Martian Chronicles (Ray Douglas Bradbury, 1950) is a science fiction novel that recounts a colonization of the planet Mars in a chronology spanning from 1999 to the year 2026; Although this is just an excuse to portray postwar American society. Strictly speaking, it is not a novel but a collection of short stories; and according to legend Bradbury presented him thus to the publisher Doubleday Co, who rejected the material because they had many storytellers and were looking to release a novel. Back home he realized that most of his stories took place on Mars, at some future time, so he set them dates, ordered them, completed the saga with a few more stories and took it back to the publisher as if each story were a chapter of a novel. And then they accepted it. Spoiler alert for the example! ( It does not contain the phrase "Martian Chronicles" but it is the chapter that I liked the most, and I leave it for that. )
