Items related to A Pleasure to Burn
One of the undisputed classics of modern science fiction, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 portrays an increasingly soulless society in which books and ideas have become anathema. Edited by Bradbury authorities Donn Albright and Jon Eller, A Pleasure to Burn is the ideal companion to this cultural benchmark. Set in the same universe, this brand new collection of 16 vintage Bradbury short stories charts, dissects and expands upon the ideas that found their purest, most potent expression in Fahrenheit 451. Some of the stories, such as "The Pedestrian" and "Pillars of Fire," will be familiar to the author's long-time fans, while others, such as "The Bonfire" and "The Reincarnate," are more obscure. But the true heart of the collection is the two novellas "Long After Midnight" (previously unavailable for mass consumption) and "The Fireman," the immediate precursor to the full-length novel. Together these independent, brilliantly original tales form an invaluable Bradbury sourcebook and a unique glimpse into the mysteries of the creative process. At once surprising, illuminating and highly entertaining, A Pleasure to Burn is a must-read for Bradbury scholars, aficionados and casual readers alike.
