A propos de cet article

Octavo, black cloth & charcoal boards (hardcover), gilt letters, uncut, 275 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In his first collection since The Stories of Ray Bradbury was published in 1980, consolidating his immense reputation, he displays anew the unclassifiable magic of his storytelling. most of these twenty-three tales begin in the familiar rooms and landscapes of our lives, in our common thoughts and memories -- and then take off through the farthest reaches of the imagination. Bardbury holds us enthralled as each story unfolds. in the title story, the world's only time-traveler -- renowned for his famous journey into the future -- finally decides, 100 years after the event, to reveal his secret. in "Lafayette, Farewell," an old man's haunting memory of World War I seems to conjure up a shower of ghostly parachutists. a man returns to his boyhood home in "The Thing at the Top of the Stairs," and learns the chilling reason for his childhood fear of the dark. in "on the Orient, North," a ghost is given new life by a particularly perceptive trained nurse. in "I Suppose You are Wondering Why We Are Here?" a man learns from his parents (Twenty years dead) the inescapable truth about himself. in "The Love Affair," a last lonely Martian is prepared to face his doom in return for the sound of music and the hope of companionship. in "Colonel Stonesteel's Genuine Home-made Truly Egyptian Mummy," two residents of Green Town discover how to ward off boredom forever. In story after story we are astonished and charmed as the fantastic and the unexpected are revealed in hidden facets of the real. The Toynbee Convector is quintessential Bradbury.
