About the product Raymond Douglas «Ray» Bradbury is one of the most published American science fiction writers in our country, a genius writer and a unique personality. One family tradition says that great-grandmother Mary Bradbury was considered a witch and was burned at the stake in 1692 during the famous Salem witch trials. So the writer said all his life that he was a descendant of a witch. In fact, Goodbye Summer is a sequel to Dandelion Wine, which was published half a century ago. It was incredibly pleasant for me to be back in my native Greentown — to gaze at the haunted house, listen to the resounding beat of the city clock, run across the ravine, for the first time to know the kiss of a girl and gain some wisdom from those who are no longer with us. In a sense, Goodbye Summer is a novel about how much you can learn from old people if you have the courage to ask them some questions and then, without interrupting, listen to what they have to say. “The cone is not enough for a long time. I just licked the top — you see, there was only one waffle tail. On vacation, I ran to swim, did not have time to dive — it’s time to get out and go back to school ”. Abstract Everyone knows very well «Dandelion Wine» — a classic work by Ray Bradbury, included in the golden fund of world literature. And its continuation had to wait half a century! The novel «Summer, Farewell» takes its beginning in the same 1957, when the «Dandelion Wine» presented to the publishing house seemed too long to the editor and he asked Bradbury to remove the final part. For fifty years this «tail» lived its own life, developed and corresponded, until it grew into a full-fledged novel that you hold in your hands.
