The Illustrated Man, a groundbreaking work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undiminished over time, is now available for the first time from Simon & Schuster.

Ray Bradbury brings wonders to life. For this unparalleled American storyteller, the most fascinating force in the universe is human nature. In these eighteen astonishing stories, which unfold on a canvas of tattooed skin, living cities take revenge, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, and dreams are propelled into the sky in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic fusion of magic, imagination, and truth – as intoxicating as interplanetary travel, as insane as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.
