Summary: Ray Bradbury made me fall in love with Science Fiction
Comment: I have searched and searched for this book for years and everywhere I looked people told me it was out of print. REJOICE, REJOICE!! I've finally found it!! A collection of stories that will take you on a magical journey through time, space, and all levels of psychological euphoria. Ray Bradbury is THE most brilliant science fiction writer of our time and this book reflects his ability to convey the very deepest emotion through what may seem at first glance like meerly words on a page. The best story in this book is "The Man".

Summary: Ever had a love affair with a book? I have.
Comment: I bought a first edition in the US in 1980. It is both my favourite book and most travelled - being an essential component of my personal baggage on numerous international business trips. For someone who grew up in the golden years of science fiction and as a lover of the short story literary form, for me there is only one writer that constantly delivers fresh insights into the possible worlds around us. That writer is Ray Bradbury. He brilliantly spins a lyrical web of simple, singular ideas across the incredible landscape of his mind to captivate his readers. And this collection of stories, spanning 3 decades, reflects the multi-facets of his work. Most of my favourite stories are here. Uncle Einar. The Scythe. Marionettes,Inc. The Small Assasin. The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit. The Day It Rained Forever. The Anthem Sprinters. I am sure that new buyers will enjoy reading the stories in this collection for many years to come. As a retrospective anthology of a great genre author, it's a veritable tour de force.

Summary: I Sing the Body(of work)BRADBURY!
Comment: There are two Major MAJOR collections of Ray Bradbury short stories currently available: this one-published in 1980;and a brand new selection- "100 Celebrated Tales"(2003). The author is principal editor of both. Readers valuing excellence in literature or "simply" wishing to be bedazzled by America's greatest story teller,will find the BODY BRADBURY galvanizing. "Old" stories of August Derleth, WEIRD TALES(Dark Carnival;The October Country;The Golden Apples of the Sun)days dominate this anthology.THE NEXT IN LINE; THE SMALL ASSASSIN;THE SKELETON; some "Ray Harryhausen" Dinosaur allegories (THE FOGHORN;and soon-to-be-released film...portending coming of Anti-Christ...of his classic anti-myth, A SOUND OF THUNDER).As well as tales the author elaborated in THE ILLUSTRATED MAN and consummated in SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES(The Black Ferris)...
Who is Ray Bradbury like? Besides being remarkably like Ray Bradbury,I propose him as the American C.S. Lewis. C.S.Lewis employed fantasy...astounding stories...steeped in horror;sci-fi and the occult as moral parables. He openly declared himself Christian philosopher and fabulist(mythologist). Unlike the erudite Don, Mr.Bradbury modestly describes himself, "lover of books". And so he is. As allegorical epic,FAHRENHEIT 451, profoundly and scathingly prophecizes (1951)abortion-ridden,TV-corrupted,Yuppie-narcissist PM Culture of Death comprising Western Society today . So-called literati are "rediscovering" the Bradbury they originally consigned to middle-school and ninth grade reading lists.(I guarantee PC Police never studied "The Grand Inquisitor" parody, pp.86-92: Fahrenheit 451...40th Aniversary Edition.)In a word: Ray Bradbury is this nation's preeminent literary moralist and--greater than C.S. Lewis in craft--POET. Again:I Sing the Body(electrifying) that is literary canon/edifice of Ray Bradbury. Do yourself a favor and acquaint your sensibility with his genius [This collection is excellent place to start; or renew yourself by a virtual Baptism by/in Bradbury). Hurry:451/PC Police are already in action!
