    The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen.Over 1 million copies sold in the UK.Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.The Classic novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 is part of the Voyager Classic series. It stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity.Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to creat a novel which, forty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

    The strange and wonderful tale of man's experiences on Mars, filled with intense images and astonishing visions. Now part of the Voyager Classics collection.The Martian Chronicles tells the story of humanity's repeated attempts to colonize the red planet. The first men were few. Most succumbed to a disease they called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a fist. They felt they had never been born. Those few that survived found no welcome on Mars. The shape-changing Martians thought they were native lunatics and duly locked them up.But more rockets arrived from Earth, and more, piercing the hallucinations projected by the Martians. People brought their old prejudices with them - and their desires and fantasies, tainted dreams. These were soon inhabited by the strange native beings, with their caged flowers and birds of flame.

    I november år 2052 går Leonard Mead alene rundt i storbyens gader. Han har for længst skiftet til hjemmesko for at kunne gå lydløst omkring uden at forstyrre dem, der har forskanset sig bag vinduerne foran fjernsynsskærmene, der viser film fra en fjern og uforståelig fortid. Han er alene på gaderne, og hans ensomhed bliver først brudt, da han pludselig befinder sig i projektørlyset fra storbyens eneste tilbageværende politibil. Hvad er der sket med de tre millioner mennesker, siden ingen af dem afviger tilstrækkeligt fra normen til at begå den mindste forbrydelse? Hvorfor er en fodgænger en novemberaften en så heftig afvigelse, at politiet griber ind?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.

    An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of 'Farenheit 451'."e;He stood at the open window in the dark, took a deep breath and exhaled.The street lights, like candles on a black cake, went out.He exhaled again and again and the stars began to vanish.Douglas smiled. He pointed a finger.There, and there. Now over here, and here...Yellow squares were cut in the dim morning earth as house lights winked slowly on. A sprinkle of windows came suddenly alight miles off in dawn country.'Everyone yawn. Everyone up.'"e;In the backwaters of Illinois, Douglas Spaulding's grandfather makes an intoxicating brew from harvested dandelions. 'Dandelion Wine' is a quirky, breathtaking coming-of-age story from one of science fiction's greatest writers. Distilling his experiences into "e;Rites & Ceremonies"e; and "e;Discoveries & Revelations"e;, the young Spaulding wistfully ponders over magical tennis shoes, and machines for every purpose from time travel to happiness and silent travel.Based upon Bradbury's own experiences growing up in Waukegan in the 1920s, 'Dandelion Wine' is a heady mixture of fond memory, forgiveness, magic, the imagination and above all, of summers that seemed to go on forever.

    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.

    ""Stands!" Kaptajnen var kommet op på gaden, han løftede sin pistol og skød. Smith faldt med en kugle i hjertet. De andre mænd vendte sig. Kaptajnen løb hen til dem."Det fjols! Bange for en by!"De så Smiths lig for deres fødder. De så på deres kaptajn, og de spærrede øjnene op og gjorde dem til smalle sprækker."Hør efter," sagde kaptajnen, "jeg har noget vigtigt at sige jer."Novellerne i "Den yderste nat" tager os med til vidunderlige verdener, forladte og udpinte planeter på den anden side af stjernerne, til Mars og Venus og ud i det blå og sorte univers. Overalt møder vi mennesker i den ene eller den anden afskygning, mennesker, der har været nødt til at tilpasse sig de nye verdeners hårde virkelighed.Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) var en amerikansk science fiction-forfatter, der udgav et væld af romaner og novellesamlinger.

    Den illustrerede mand er ved første øjekast bare en mand, der er tatoveret fra top til tå. Men om aftenen, når månen lyser på hans hud, bliver tatoveringerne til levende billeder, der fortæller et væld af historier. Fortællingerne tager os med til det ydre rum, til en fjern fremtid og tilbage til en nutid, der ses med helt andre øjne. Historierne fortæller om fremtidsfamilier, der på mange måder minder om dem, vi kender, men alligevel adskiller sig tilstrækkeligt til at give os et nyt syn på os selv.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.

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.
