Bøger af Ray Bradbury

En fattig mand flytter sammen med sin familie til et sted, hvor de kan leve i fred og ro og tjene til føden. Hver morgen tager manden ud på en underlig mark og giver sig til at meje. Men hvad er det egentlig, han høster? For det er i hvert fald ikke bare korn…Ray Bradburys novellesamling "Manden med leen" bugner af gyserhistorier, der ligesom titelnovellen kan få det til at løbe koldt ned ad ryggen på selv den mest garvede gyserlæser.Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) var en amerikansk science fiction-forfatter, der udgav et væld af romaner og novellesamlinger. Han debuterede i 1953 med romanen "Fahrenheit 451", og sidenhen har hans bøger opnåede stor succes verden over.

A collection of rare humor and sci-fi comics from the Maddest cartoonist.

Ray Bradbury was long the most influential sci-fi writer in the world, the poetic and visionary author of such classics as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and The Illustrated ManBut he also lived a fascinating life outside the parameters of sci-fi, and was a masterful raconteur of his own story, as he reveals in his wide-ranging and in-depth final interview with his acclaimed biographer, Sam Weller. After moving to Los Angeles, he became an inveterate fanboy of movie stars, spending hours waiting at studio gates to get autographs. He would later get to know many of Hollywood's most powerful figures when he became a major screenwriter, and he details here what it was like to work for legendary directors such as John Huston and Alfred Hitchcock. And then there are all the celebrities-from heads of state like Mikhail Gorbachev to rock stars like David Bowie and the members of Kiss-who went out of their way to arrange encounters with Bradbury.But throughout that last talk, as well as the interviews collected here from earlier in his career, Bradbury constantly twists the elements of his life into a discussion of the influences and creative processes behind his remarkable developments and inventions for the literary form he mastered. Mixed with cheerful gossiping about his travels and the characters of his life, it makes for a rich reading experience and a revealing collection of interviews.
