Resumen de illustrated man plss?

Is a book of eighteen science fiction short stories written by Ray Bradbury, who explore human nature.

The stories have no apparent relationship to each other, but many show

how technology can destroy humanity by affecting its psychology as a

recurring theme.

These

different stories are united with the figure that frames "The

Illustrated Man", a vagabond with his body tattooed entirely to whom the

publisher of the book, who remains anonymous, knows.

These tattoos were made in theory by a woman of the future, are animated and each tells a different story.

Thus, the story of "The Illustrated Man" serves as the framework narrative for all stories.

All but one of the stories had been previously published, although Bradbury reviewed some of the texts.

1. The prairie : A family, composed of parents and two children, live in a fully automated house.

The house provides everything, everything from food to teeth brushing.

The children have a games room, whose mechanism allows them to live in a kind of virtual reality everything that they imagine.

One must recognize Bradbury's creative achievement of devising virtual reality a few decades before it actually existed.

This ideal world becomes a nightmare, when the boys rebel against

their parents, through the same virtuality : they recreate an African

prairie, with ferocious and hungry lions.

2. Kaleidoscope : Like the colors in a kaleidoscope the navigators of a

rocket move through space, in free fall, because their ship has suffered

an explosion and they have saved their lives, only to see how death

comes to them through Of

the immensity of the universe, between recriminations, confrontations

and reproaches of one another, there are those who are very close to the

sun, who crashes against asteroids, others because they run out of air

on the scandal and the narrator of the story because it collides with

the same atmosphere Terrestrial, thinking for what will have served his life.

Not knowing that a boy thinks he is a shooting star.

3. The other foot : on a Mars colonized by blacks, a rocket arrives with white crew.

Blacks are willing to treat them as the whites did with them in the ancient cities they inhabited.

Whites, fleeing atomic warfare and ultimate destruction on Earth, see only one hope : Mars and its clean atmosphere.

In the end, a touch of hope : on Mars there may be the fraternity between races that did not exist on Earth.

4. The highway, a Mexican peasant, with indifference, sees, as the whole

world runs away, through a highway that passes by its fields, a mass and

atomic war.

The only thing that worries him is what will be what they call 'world'.

5. Man, a ship arrives on a planet.

Faced with what the crew thought, no one comes to see them, not even by mere curiosity.

When

they investigate, they discover that just one hour earlier, another

visitor has arrived in the village, a strange man who spreads peace and

harmony among all the inhabitants.

A man who speaks of love and joy.

The

second on board decides to stay on that planet to know more about the

doctrine of this man, who apparently has continued to travel to other

planets.

The captain wants to meet him personally and goes on his quest.

In fact, the captain did not understand the message well, because the man is still there.

Your journey will be in vain.

It's a bit of a nonsense ending, and it's not clear why they think the man is gone when he's still there.

6. The rain.

Water

and more water is what falls on the astronauts who have reached Venus,

so much so that if neglected they will die drowned by the undergrowth,

turned into plants.

Their only hope is to find some buildings with artificial sun, what they call a 'solar dome'.

7. The rocket man, a boy tells what he feels in the face of the profession

of his father, an astronaut, who makes him spend a great time out of

the house, looking like a stranger when he returns.

The

young man wonders what would happen if they found out that the father

had hit a star, they probably would not look at it again.

One day the news arrives so feared, the rocket of his father fell in the sun and there are no survivors.

The boy and his mother decide that they will never see the sun again.

8. Fireballs.

Some priests come to Mars as missionaries, one of them decides that it

is the native inhabitants who must be evangelized, but they discover,

with stupefaction that they, converted into balloons of fire, are pure

energy, chaste and without any sin.

9. The last night of the world.

What would happen if everyone dreamed at the same time the same thing : everything will end the next night?

This is the approach of this story.

Incredibly everyone takes it with great philosophy and quietly wait for the time to come.
