«The Day the Martians Came» is Frederik Pohl's science fiction short story collection, published by Grafton in paperback (304 pages, in English).
The cover anticipates a satirical vision of first contact: a green-skinned alien with bright eyes dominates the scene, with a red planet in the background. Pohl, a key figure in science fiction, turns the arrival of the Martians into a mirror of human fears and contradictions, combining irony and speculation in several standalone stories.
This Grafton edition, published in 1990, brings together stories that originally appeared in 1988. The book is written in English, making it suitable for readers who prefer the original edition.
Intended for fans of classic science fiction who want to read a Hugo and Nebula award-winning author in his original language.
Frederik George Pohl Jr. was an American science-fiction writer, editor, and fan, with a career spanning nearly 75 years—from his first published work, the 1937 poem "Elegy to a Dead Satellite: Luna", to the 2011 novel All the Lives He Led.
