The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury Classic Bradbury, this collection of tales offers images that are as keen as a tattooists needle and as colorful as the inks that stain the body. Featuring a new Introduction, "The Illustrated Man" presents 18 startling visions of humankinds destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Illustrated Man, a seminal work in Ray Bradburys career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by times passage, is available from Simon & Schuster for the first time. Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. For this peerless American storyteller, the most bewitching force in the universe is human nature. In these eighteen startling tales unfolding across a canvas of tattooed skin, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth--as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world. Author Biography Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was the author of more than three dozen books, including Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, as well as hundreds of short stories.
