Where does the inspiration come from? How does the story begin? Did the moments that appeared in the memory foreshadow the material? Are there any paths and experiences to follow when creating ideas? This is a problem that every creator must face, even though they seem so mysterious and unspeakable - "Experience, creation, they are like two sides of a copper plate. When the copper plate rotates, it is neither the front nor the back, but a moment of revelation." - And now, this book will take us close to these "moments of revelation." The creative thinking of Ray Bradbury, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and author of "Fahrenheit 451," is revealed for the first time. It leads you back in time to explore how science fiction masters turned love or anger into writing motivation; how to enrich the body's various perceptions to feed the muse; how to capture a certain auspicious moment in life and solidify it forever... The book has a total of twelve chapters, with humorous writing, as light and clever as poetry. It is like having a long conversation with the master through time and space, helping you who are interested in writing to clarify the creative myths and move forward.

"Some days are like taking a deep breath and holding it. Some summers refuse to end." "Fahrenheit 451" author and "science fiction poet" Ray Bradbury is the final work of the coming-of-age novel "Greentown Trilogy", a wonderful story about childhood, summer, time and death; "Summer Farewell" is the last novel published by Ray Bradbury, the author of "Fahrenheit 451" and science fiction master, before his death. This story took a long fifty-five years to take shape. It is the perfect conclusion of the "Green Town Trilogy", a masterpiece of coming-of-age novels, and returns to the origin of the author's life creation. The story takes place in the late summer of 1929. The once lazy and peaceful American town ushered in a war: in order to compete for control of the "time machine", a group of teenagers formed an army and launched an attack on the elderly, refusing to be trapped by time and refusing to become boring adults. While the boys resist growing up, the old men avoid the inevitable death. Like a poetic fable, this novel shuttles between reality and dream, slowly and sometimes hurriedly capturing all kinds of unforgettable moments that make people grow up overnight and dare not admit it until old age: revisiting Green Town, staring at the ghost house, listening to the distant bells, running in the river valley, dancing on the cemetery, being kissed by a girl for the first time, feeling the wisdom of the deceased... The unique smell and picture in the air at the end of summer are everyone's childhood.

"Dandelion Wine" is a collection of childhood stories by science fiction master Bradbury. It records the daily life in a small town full of whimsy and relives a period of youth that neither curls up nor lies down. The protagonist of the story is Douglas, a 12-year-old boy who makes dandelion wine with his grandfather every summer. Dandelion wine is "summer on the tip of the tongue", putting all the joy into a bottle and fermenting it into a panacea for growth and cold winter. Summer is the green apple trees, the mowed lawn that exudes the smell of fresh grass, a new pair of sneakers that can make people fly, the distant tram bell in the hazy afternoon; it can also be the departure of a best friend, a puzzling old girl and her A childhood treasure, a happiness machine that can predict the future, a high fever that brushes against death... All these make the boy feel the joy of "living" like never before, with miracles, sentimentality, forgiveness, magic, fantasy, and a never-ending summer.
