The Stories of Ray Bradbury (Everyman’s Library Contemporary Classics)

100 stories selected by Ray himself,a master of fantasy,SF,horror,and so much more that is not easily definable.I've been reading him for over 40 years now,and this volume is much better than a lot of the very expensive and(dare I say it?)full of typo volumes available from small presses--I know,I'm a collector of sorts,and this is great value,with Everyman's usual first class job of presentation.If you know RB,don't hesitate,if you don't,you will make one of your lifetime's best buys.

I have loved Ray Bradbury stories since I read The Illustrated Man when I was seventeen. I owned the paperback version of the stories of Ray Bradbury vol. 1 prior to this, and now it's good to have the short stories from volumes 1 and 2 in one hardback edition. I was a bit concerned that the type would be microscopic because of the number of stories but it's fine really. The paper quality is excellent too; this was another factor I was wary about. I dip into this every now and again rather than reading it chronologically. I would recommend to followers of Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov alike.

Excellent collection of the best of Bradbury, in a sturdy hardback format at a very reasonable price

I’ll keep rereading these forever. Even his sci-fi short story had me gripped

This is a review about the actual book, not the author or stories as the writing is not quite to my taste.Its a very nice book. The cover and bindings are high quality and the paper and print are very clear. The book is a nice size and reassuringly heavy. Its a book to show off and come back to again and again.

We homeschool and are delighted to find such a hefty book with Bradbury's amazing stories. Similar to Edgar Allan Poe, but with perhaps more variety in them.

An almost complete Everyman collection of Ray Bradbury's short stories????? You would be insane to miss it. But RB depends on taste. Youngsters maybe ought to read one or two .........

Everyone should have at least one ray Bradbury book on their shelf to dip in to now and again this has 100 of his best first read himore 30 year's ago still sends shivers down my spine

No one writes fantasy sci fi like Ray Bradbury. One of the greatest minds and writers of all time. Favorites here so far are The Long Rain, A Sound of Thunder, The Night, The Veldt, Homecoming, All Summer in a Day.

Ray Bradbury truly is an impressive author not just because of how prolific he is, but because of how committed he is to each of his ideas. As demonstrated by this collection, Bradbury is a jack of all trades, from enthralling sci-fi masterpieces such as "A Sound of Thunder" and "Frost and Fire" to gut-wrenching, very personal pieces like "The Lake."This particular collection, in itself, is a masterclass of the art and craft of story. For example: in "The Night," a second-person point-of-view puts you in the shoes of a boy in the 1920s, and you feel just as scared as he is when his brother suspiciously doesn't come home on time; and in "There Will Come Soft Rains," the complete absence of living characters captures the bleakness of a fully-operational dwelling place crumbling to the ground in the fallout of nuclear war.Definitely give this one a look. His stories may not be for everyone, but it is absolutely worth one's time and attention.

1172 páginas de puro placer para aquellos a los que les guste el género. La calidad del libro es excepcional.

It's a glamorous experience to read and have a book by Everyman's classic hardcover series. Font and quality of pages seem to stimulate your reading appetite.Amazon 's service has been so standard that it is almost five years since I need no other sellers to know.

Most of the short stories here run from two to nine pages in length, and it is to Bradbury's credit that he packs almost every one with significance and meaning far beyond the scope of the story itself.The reader will feel profound observations on the human condition, on the human need for approbation, on the human need for love, on the human need for belief and spirituality, and on every other characteristic that makes one human.Bradbury never beats his reader over the head with profundity; it is the reader himself who adds that to Bradbury's intriguing, beautiful tales.Tales-that's the word I've been searching for. This is a book of amazing tales.Everyone should have this in his collection
