Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here are thirty-two of his most famous tales-prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry that Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits that spring from the canvas of one of the century's great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a sixty-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.

The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Out there in the cold water, far from land, we waited every night for the coming of the fog, and it came, and we oiled the brass machinery and lit the fog light up in the stone tower. ("The fog horn") To enter out into that silence that was the city at eight o'clock of a misty evening in November, to put your feet upon that buckling concrete walk, to step over grassy seams and make your way, hands in pockets, through the silences, that was what Mr. Leonard Mead most dearly loved to do. ("The pedestrian") Into the air, over the valleys, under the stars, above a river, a pond, a road, flew Cecy. ("The April witch") "Oh, the Good Time has come at last -" ("The wilderness") William Acton rose to his feet. ("The fruit at the bottom of the bowl") She took the great iron spoon and the mummified frog and gave it a bash and made dust of it, and talked to the dust while she ground it in her stony fists quickly. ("Invisible boy") In the year A.D. 400, the Emperor Yuan held his throne by the Great Wall of China, and the land was green with rain, readying itself toward the harvest, at peace, the people in his dominion neither too happy nor too sad. ("The flying machine") Music moved through the white halls. ("The murderer") "In the shape of a pig?" cried the Mandarin. ("The golden kite, the silver wind") The soft knock came at the kitchen door, and when Mrs. O'Brian opened it, there on the back porch were her best tenant, Mr. Ramirez, and two police officers, one on each side of him. ("I see you never") The dark porch air in the late afternoon was full of needle flashes, like a movement of gathered silver insects in the light. ("Embroidery") The people filled the stands behind the wire screen, waiting. ("The big black and white game") The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water. ("A sound of thunder") It was a day to be out of bed, to pull curtains and fling open windows. ("The great wide world over there") The horses moved gently to a stop, and the man and his wife gazed down into a dry, sandy valley. ("Powerhouse") All night Mrs. Alvarez moaned, and these moans filled the tenement like a light turned on in every room so no one could sleep. ("En la noche") The camera clicked like an insect. ("Sun and shadow") A wall collapses, followed by another and another; with dull thunder, a city falls into ruin. ("The meadow") This is how his work was: he got up at five in the cold dark morning and washed his face with warm water if the heater was working and cold water if the heater was not working. ("The garbage collector") The morning the great fire started, nobody in the house could put it out. ("The great fire") But of course he was going away, there was nothing else to do, the time was up, the clock had run out, and he was going very far away indeed. ("Hail and farewell") "South," said the captain. ("The golden apples of the sun") | |

He had been nervous all day and hadn't said why. "For all our engines and so-called submarines, it'll be ten thousand centuries before we set foot on the real bottom of the sunken lands, in the fairy kingdoms there, and know real terror. Think of it, it's still the year 300,000 Before Christ down under there. While we've paraded around with trumpets, lopping off each other's countries and heads, they have been living beneath the sea twelve miles deep and cold in a time as old as the beard of a comet." I saw it all, I knew it all - the million years of waiting alone, for someone to come back who never came back. The million years of isolation at the bottom of the sea, the insanity of time there, while the skies cleared of reptile-birds, the swamps dried on the continental lands, the sloths and saber-tooths had their day and sank in tar pits, and men ran like white ants upon the hills. "That's life for you," said McDunn. "Someone always waiting for someone who never comes home. Always someone loving some thing more than that thing loves them. And after a while you want to destroy whatever that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more." TIME SAFARI, INC.
SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST.
YOU NAME THE ANIMAL.
WE TAKE YOU THERE.
YOU SHOOT IT. | |

And Charlie followed her all the way, really invisible now, so she couldn't see him, just hear him, like a pine cone dropping or a deep underground stream trickling, or a squirrel clambering a bough; and over the fire at twilight she and Charlie sat, him so invisible, and her feeding him bacon he wouldn't take, so she ate it herself, and then she fixed some magic and fell asleep with Charlie, made out of sticks and rags and pebbles, but still warm and her very own son, slumbering and nice in her shaking mother arms...and they talked about golden things in drowsy voices until dawn made the fire slowly, slowly wither out... ("Invisible boy") (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.)And he went on quietly this way through the remainder of a cool, air-conditioned, and long afternoon: telephone, wrist radio, intercom, telephone, wrist radio, intercom, telephone, wrist radio, intercom, telephone, wrist radio, intercom, telephone, wrist radio, intercom, telephone, wrist radio... ("The murderer") (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.)And as they rode on into town she was humming, humming a strange soft tune, and he glanced over and listened to it, and it was the sound you would expect to hear from sun-warmed railroad ties on a hot summer day when the air rises in a shimmer, flurried and whorling; a sound in one key, one pitch, rising a little, falling a little, humming, humming, but constant, peaceful, and wondrous to hear. ("Powerhouse") (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) | |
