Così vuole fa legge. Montag però non è felice della sua esistenza alienata, fra giganteschi schermi televisivi, una moglie che gli è indifferente e un lavoro di routine. Finché, dall'incon...

Viaggiatori del tempo, carnevali gotici, automi viventi... e investigatori. Sono i protagonisti delle storie create da Ray Bradbury, che non si è rivelato solo nella fantascienza, ma anche nel fantastico, nell'horror, nel weird. E nel poliziesco. Lo dimostrano le venti storie raccolte in questo volume: impeccabili trame gialle, molte delle quali hanno ispirato episodi della serie "Alfred Hitchcock presenta"; tra queste, Il piccolo as...

Bradbury turns hardboiled with this rich, beautifully written homage to the detective novel of the Thirties and Forties--in trade paperback for the first time. "A splendid detective novel . . . it is hard to see how anyone could resist the ecstatic vitality of his characters".--The Los Angeles Times Book Review.

Es ist eine Horrorversion des Internet-Zeitalters, die Bradbury vorausgesehen hat: Lesen ist geächtet, Wissen nicht erwünscht, auf Buchbesitz steht Strafe, und die Menschen werden mit Entertainment und Dauerberieselung kleingehalten. Der >Feuermann< Guy Montag, der an den staatlich angeordneten Bücherverbrennungen beteiligt ist, beginnt sich nach einem traumatischen Einsatz zu widersetzen und riskiert dabei sein Leben.
