Synopsis

In this classic of twentieth-century literature, now with a strikingly beautiful new cover design, Ray Bradbury weaves a narrative spanning from the depths of humankind’s fears to the summit of their achievements in eighteen interconnected stories—visions of the future tattooed onto the body of an enigmatic traveler.

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.
