  • Zen in the Art of Writing – Ray Bradbury
    A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels, stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared when he was twenty years old. He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury Theater" on USA Cable television.

    Notes Introduction 1. Otis Ferguson, “Life Goes to the Pictures,” in Robert Wilson, The Film Criticism of Otis Ferguson (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1971), 4. 2. Those Who Made It is the latest entry in a select group of comparable interview collections that features Hollywood personnel speaking out about their work behind the camera. One of the earliest was Austin C. Andrew Sarris’s Interviews with Film Directors (1967), an anthology conducted by a variety of interviewers; Leonard Maltin’s Behind the Camera (1971), featuring five interviews with cinema- tographers Hal Mohr, Conrad Hall, Hal Rosson, Lucien Ballard, and Arthur Miller; Kevin Brownlow’s three volumes of interviews chronicling the silent era, The Parade’s Gone By, The War the West and the Wilderness, Behind the Mask of Innocence ( 1968–1990); and Joseph McBride’s two- volume Filmmakers on Filmmakingg (1983), derived from a series of seminars conducted by the American Film Institute. My own previous contribution to this series is my edited volume, Introduction to the Photoplay (1977), an annotated collection of Hollywood n otables— including pro- ducer Irving Thalberg, art director William Cameron Menzies, scriptwriter Clara Beranger— speaking out at a seminar at USC in 1929 on topics relating to the dawn of sound. All, save Brownlow’s Parade’s Gone By, are long out of print. 3. Jean- Luc Godard, Introduction a une veritable histoire du cinema (Paris: Albatros, 1980), 100. 4.

  • Ray Bradbury on Screen: Martians, Beasts and Burning Books
    Ray Bradbury on Screen: Martians, Beasts and Burning Books By Phil Nichols Ray Bradbury was a child of the cinema, reportedly seeing The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) on first release at the age of three. His teenage years in Los Angeles gave him an intimate familiarity with Hollywood, as he roller-skated from studio to studio, collecting autographs of the stars. It should come as no surprise, therefore, to learn that he spent a significant part of his long career writing for the screen. Since his death in 2012, there has continued to be interest in adapting his works for the screen, but not always successfully. A little-known fact is that Bradbury was an established scriptwriter – for radio – even before his first book was published. His 1947 radio play “The Meadow” (for World Security Theater) was aired four months before his debut book Dark Carnival appeared from Arkham House. Through the 1940s and 1950s, he submitted many stories to radio shows such as Suspense, and his stories have remained popular in this medium right through to the present. The 1950s was the decade that brought Bradbury to the screen. In late 1952 he wrote a treatment titled The Atomic Monster, later retitled It Came From Outer Space – a story for films. Due to his relative inexperience, his “treatment” was more like a complete script, with dialogue and detailed camera directions. Longtime screenwriting pro Harry Essex, given the job of turning Bradbury’s “treatment” into a full screenplay, found the task very simple, as Bradbury had done nearly all the work.

No 1 2016 FIGURING THE MALE AND FEMALE: FIRE AND WATER IN BRADBURY'S (SCIENCE) FICTION Yuliya Davydyuk*, Nataliya Panasenko1 Corresponding author* Davydyuk, Yu., Panasenko, N. Figuring the male and female: fire and water in Bradbury's (science) fiction // Lege artis. Language yesterday, today, tomorrow. The Journal of University of SS Cyril and Methodius in Trnava. Warsaw: De Gruyter Open, 2016, vol. 1 (1), June 2016. p. 4-74. DOI: 10.1515/lart-2016-0001 ISSN 2453-8035 Abstract: The article highlights the results of the investigation of the literary FIRE and WATER concepts and their basic characteristics from a cognitive point of view. The research of the literary FIRE and WATER concepts was carried out in three steps – revealing their notional, image- and sense-bearing components. The results show that the FIRE concept is mostly personified into the image of A MAN, while the WATER concept is mostly personified into the image of А WOMAN. Keywords: the male, the female, literary concepts, Ray Bradbury, symbol, the FIRE concept, the WATER concept, concept-element, conceptual metaphor, embodiment, image, text type. Sun…is our cup of energy, fire, vibration… Here, from this cup, all good men of science and religion: Drink! Warm yourselves against the night of ignorance, the long snows of superstition, the cold winds of disbelief, and from the great fear of darkness in each man. (Ray Bradbury "The golden apples of the sun") 1. Introduction Concepts are mental entities: each concept contains knowledge of the world important to a human; the system of concepts forms the worldview image, which shows the vision 1 The article we present here is a pilot research done especially for "Lege artis" journal.
