Here is a brief description:

ROM THE PUBLISHER
The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury- a collection of tales that 
breathe and move, animated by sharp, intaken breath and flexing 
muscle. Here are eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, 
unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin- visions as keen as the 
tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that indelibly stain 
the body. The images, ideas, sounds and scents that abound in this 
phantasmagoric sideshow are provocative and powerful: the mournful 
cries of celestial travelers cast out cruelly into a vast, empty 
space of stars and blackness...the sight of gray dust selling over a 
forgotten outpost on a road that leads nowhere...the pungent odor of 
Jupiter on a returning father's clothing. Here living cities take 
their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural 
instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad 
hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Ray 
Bradbury's The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, 
imagination, and truth, widely believed to be one of the 
Grandmaster's premier accomplishments: as exhilarating as 
interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, 
and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of 
the world.

Thanks
