No other writer uses language with greater originality and zest. The seventeenth is your own future told on the skin of the Illustrated Man:- Review(s): "He retains a wonderful, idiosyncratic sense of magic. Here are sixteen tales: sixteen illustrations. Tiny pink hands gesture, tiny mouths flicker, as the figures enact their stories - voices rise, small and muted, predicting the future. Because, as the sun sets, the pictures glow like charcoals, like scattered gems. Yet the Illustrated Man has tried to burn the illustrations off. 1st printing of 2005 edition:- Contents: Prologue: The Illustrated Man / The Veld / Kaleidoscope / The Other Foot / The Highway / The Man / The Long Rain / Usher II / The Last Night Of The World / The Rocket / No Particular Night Or Morning / The Fox And The Forest / The Visitor / Marionettes, Inc / The City / Zero Hour / The Playground / Epilogue:- Synopsis: 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. © 1951: A collection of 17 short stories by Ray Bradbury.
