The mind of Ray Bradbury is a wonder-filled carnival of delight and terror that stretches from the verdant Irish countryside to the coldest reaches of outer space. Yet all his work is united by one common thread: a vivid and profound understanding of the vast emotions that bring strength and mythic resonance to our frail species. Ray Bradbury characters may find themselves anywhere and anywhen. A horrified mother may give birth to a strange blue pyramid. A man may take Abraham Linkoln out of the grave--and meet another who puts him back. An amazing Electrical Grandmother may come to live with a grieving family. An old parrort may have learned over long evenings to imitate the voice of Ernest Hemingway, and become the last link to the last link to the great man. A priest on Mars may confront his fondest dream: to meet the Messiah. Each of these magnificient creations has something to tell us about our own humanity--and all of their fates await you in this new trade edition of twenty-eight classic Bradbury stories and one luscious poem. Travel on an unpredictable and unforgettable literary journey--safe in the hands of the century's great men of imagination.The mind of Ray Bradbury is a wonder-filled carnival of delight and terror that stretches from the verdant Irish countryside to the coldest reaches of outer space.

Ray Bradbury remains one of my favorite writers. To label him a Science Fiction writer does him an injustice as he was so much more than that. His ability to spin tales was remarkable, but even more so was his ability to create images and word rhythms that dazzle and impress. You don't just read Bradbury, you luxuriate in his work, and even as you read, you find remarkable passages that describe the simplest of things. His eye saw the world differently and unlike many, he could show you what he saw. This collection of his work, much of it early in his nearly 70 years of writing, is a fine introduction. The story "I Sing the Body Electric" was one of his most delightful and thought-provoking. It was made into one of the outstanding episodes on the original Twilight Zone series. This story, while clearly a fantastic envisioning of the impact an electric grandmother would have on three kids, it also says much about life and loss and hope. I find every time I read one of his stories there are so many things to think about once I've finished. If you haven't read Bradbury before or just haven't read him lately, this is a fine reminder of a large talent who gave us so much enjoyment and wonder. I can't praise him or this introduction to his writings nearly enough.94 ReviewsRecipe courtesy of Ree DrummondShow: The Pioneer WomanEpisode: Cowboy LunchSave Recipe PrintPan-Fried Pork Chops (02:32)Total:25 minActive:25 minYield:8 servingsLevel:EasyIngredients1 teaspoon seasoned salt, plus more for seasoning1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning8 pork breakfast chops1 cup all-purpose flourCayenne pepper1/2 cup canola oil1 tablespoon butterSmashed new potatoes, for servingAdd Checked Items to Grocery ListDirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper.
