Ray Bradbury's "S is for Space"
This book is a collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury, all of which are excellent. This particular copy arrived in very good condition; I would say better than as described, considering the age of this edition. This is a copy from the 1970's, and apparently it inhabited a bookshelf, because the spine wasn't even cracked (as tends to happen with trade paperbacks). I love good books, and treat them with great care. This one is a most treasured part of my collection.
One of my favorites.
I love Bradbury...one of the best writers of all time. Thanks for getting this to me so quickly. Have a great week...
Messiahs, Mushrooms, and Flying Machines
Ray Bradbury's _S is for Space_ (1966) is a companion collection to _R is for Rocket_ (1962). I remember that there was mild critical disappointment when these collections first appeared. The problem was not with the quality of the stories-- which were quite good-- but over the fact that most of them were "recycled Bradbury". That is, they were tales that had been previously published in other collections. Nowadays, this doesn't seem to be an issue of great importance.
"The Pedestrian" is here, one of Bradbury's best. It's the short, tight little gem about the last pedestrian who one night encounters the last police car. The world of this story, with shadowy figures glued to their television sets, is the world of _Fahrenheit 451_ (1953). The story was first published in _The Reporter_, a news weekly that deserved a longer life than it had.
"Pillar of Fire" is a novelette length manic tribute to Edgar Alan Poe and fantastic Romanticism. A hate-filled madman rises from the dead and wreaks havoc on a rational, ordered, emotionless society. Ask yourself with whom you identify.
"The Man" is the one about the spaceship captain searching from planet to planet for the second coming of Christ. James Blish (1964) pointed out a theological flaw in the story. An omnipotent God could arrange for a second coming simultaneously on all planets without requiring His Messiah to travel from one planet to another by rocket. But I think that Bradbury's main point still stands: There will always be people who are looking for a grail over the next horizon.
There are two stories from _The Martian Chronicles_ (1950): "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed," about the Earth colonists who go native; and "The Million Year Picnic," about a family's encounter with the "new Martians" that closes the chronicles.
Bradbury has a love-hate relationship with flying machines, and this is demonstrated in two fables: "Icarus Montgolfier Wright" and "The Flying Machine".
