Synopsis: An electic mixture of some of Ray Bradurya's finest works from acorss the spectrum of science fiction and the fantastic. Since the beginning of his career as a pulp writer in the 1940's, Ray Bradbury has become synonymous with great science fiction both from the pulp comic books of his early work to his adaptations on television and film alongside most notably with his masterpiece, Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury has done a rare thing; to capture both the popular and literary imagination, inspiring a generation of young fans throughout America where he has become the staple diet in literature classes and across the Atlantic in Europe where his place in the science fiction canon has been cemented through Francois Truffaut's 1966 cinematic incarnation of Bradbury's most famous work. The result is this, the first in a two volumes offering the very best of his short stories including The Garbage Collector, The Illustrated Man and Zero Hour. Within these pages the reader will be transported to foreign and remarkable worlds, become transfixed by the future, past and present, and above all else be left humbled and inspired by one of most absorbing and engaging writers of this century, and the last.
