The Illustrated Man, a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's 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.

Reviews for Illustrated Man

Ray Bradbury has accomplished what very few artists do. With his visions of possible futures and edgy presents . . . he has changed us. --The Boston Globe Bradbury is an authentic original. --Time A master... Bradbury has a style all his own, much imitated but never matched. --Portland Oregonian Deftly plotted, beautifully written, characterized by protagonists who are intensely real . . . there is no writer quite like Ray Bradbury. --The New York Times His stories and novels are part of the American language. --The Washington Post
