In this lavishly illustrated labor of love, Jerry Weist -- Sotheby's fantasy and science fiction collectibles expert and longtime Ray Bradbury friend and collector -- gives us a unique "visual biography," a one-of-a-kind celebration of the life, career, and genius of one of America's most beloved literary giants.The works of Ray Bradbury have been read and revered for more than half a century. The winner of countless awards and accolades, including a Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation, he has left a deeper, more enduring imprint on our times than most writers of his or any generation. The source of "The Martian Chronicles," father of "The Illustrated Man," and master brewer of "Dandelion Wine," Bradbury has penned stories, novels, stage plays, and screenplays that have long demonstrated the limitlessness of the human imagination and pure power of the word."Bradbury: An Illustrated Life" features magazine illustrations, movie stills and posters, comic book art, letters, scripts, book jackets, and paintings -- all expertly selected and insightfully explained -- that trace an incomparable artist's journey through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Here also are rare and illuminating gems from some of his renowned compatriots and collaborators, including excerpts from the journal of legendary director Fran ois Truffaut, written during the making of the motion picture version of Bradbury's… (més)

Gorgeous coffee-table book, by an uber-fan of his, lavishly illustrated. ( )

A visual biography of Ray Bradbury's career in multiple media, with magazine illustrations, movie stills and posters, comic book art, letters, scripts, book jackets, paintings, from his early career to the turn of the millennium. This is for devoted fans only. It's a good thing that I'm one. ( )

Ray Bradbury is arguably one of the cleverest and most colorful authors of our age. This volume showcases that life through the images of his works. I first came upon it in high school while working on a term paper on Ray and his science fiction. Years later, I was ecstatic to find it on super-steep discount at my university book store and gobbled it right up. Part biography, part picture gallery, this 'Illustrated Life" is a collection of many of the images that inspired Bradbury's writing as well as countless images draw for his books and stories. They are mostly book covers, but there are also sketches, illuminations, even comics. To see the many ways people have interpreted Bradbury's work is fascinating, especially looking at some of the foreign editions, which have a completely different feel than those published in America. Weist gives some insight in to the thought processes behind many of those pieces, with commentary from the master himself, an a really unique journey though his body of work. I will say that this is mostly a work for Bradbury completists like myself, but any one curious as to how the art on our book covers comes to be, and sci-fi art fans in general, should get a kick out of this "Journey to Far Metaphor".
