The Illustrated Man — Ray Bradbury

A classic collection of stories all told on the skin of a man from the author of Fahrenheit 451 If El Greco had painted miniatures in his prime no bigger than your hand infinitely detailed with his sulphurous colour and exquisite human anatomy perhaps he might have used this man s body for his art Yet the Illustrated Man has tried to burn the illustrations off He s tried sandpaper acid and a knife Because as the sun sets the pictures glow like charcoals like scattered gems They quiver and come to life Tiny pink hands gesture tiny mouths flicker as the figures enact their stories voices rise small and muted predicting the future Here are sixteen tales sixteen illustrations the seventeenth is your own future told on the skin of the Illustrated Man
