Reviews"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, "Deftly plotted, beautifully written, characterized by protagonists who are intensely real . . . there is no writer quite like Ray Bradbury." - The New York Times, "Deftly plotted, beautifully written, characterized by protagonists who are intensely real . . . there is no writer quite like Ray Bradbury." The New York Times, "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, "A master... Bradbury has a style all his own, much imitated but never matched." - Portland Oregonian

SynopsisThe 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.

  • Good book for new learners

    Physical book quality was good, for a used book. Actual book content is easy-to-read and simple to understand. Contains adequate stories, although, they seem to have been written for middle school-level readers. Not rich in insightful stories, but are somewhat interesting.

  • This One Is For Me!

    I have bought this book at least ten times since I discovered Ray Bradbury in the early 1960's. The book is way better than the movie. A book allows you your imagination to explore the recesses of your mind. I end up giving books away to share the compelling stories or helpful information. This copy is for me!
