Sinossi
È in una serata di settembre, nei Wisconsin, che appare l'Uomo illustrato. È ormai anziano, cerca un lavoro. Invano. Tutti fuggono da lui quando osservano gli strani, bellissimi disegni di cui è ricoperta la sua pelle. Non sono tatuaggi ma opere d'arte. O forse di stregoneria... A guardarle a lungo, quelle figure si animano, raccontano storie. Non storie qualunque: svelano a ciascuno ciò che lo attende, la storia della sua vita e della sua morte. La sfrenata fantasia di Ray Bradbury trascina il lettore in un mondo futuribile e tanto più inquietante.

Genius! : 16 short sci-fi, horror and/or fantasy stories, linked by the concept that each story is represented by the animated tattoos on the Illustrated Man's body. All 16 tales are very very good, I kid you not! 8.5 out of 12.
Reading Bradbury a second and third time is like exploring a natural wonder, finding more and more details and interconnections and wondering more and more about how something like this can be both created and function so well. The amazing thing is that, while recalling the short stories after getti Leggi tutto
When the fuzzy bootie slippers and knit shawls come out, so do the Ray Bradbury books... As someone who could have made a living as a tattooed lady in a sideshow a hundred years ago, I am completely enamored of this short story collection's structure: one tale for each drawing on the titular Illustra Leggi tutto
"... he was a riot of rockets and fountains and people, in such intricate detail and color that you could hear the voices murmuring small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body. When his flesh twitched, the tiny mouths flickered, the tiny green-and-gold eyes winked, the tiny pink hand
