Fahrenheit 451

by Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451

Dystopian future where knowledge burns.

If the notion of a world stripped of literature sends a chill down your spine, "Fahrenheit 451" is a must-read for you. Its chilling narrative of censorship and the fight for intellectual freedom is as relevant today as it was when Bradbury penned it. The book's rich language and prophetic vision make it a compelling read for anyone passionate about the enduring power of books.

Description

More than sixty years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature. Today its message is more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of all commodities, the printed book, along with the homes in which they are hidden. Montag never questions his orders to destroy and to ruin, returning each day to his bland life and to his wife, Mildred, who is content to spend all day with her television 'family'. But then Montag meets Clarisse, who shows him a past where people didn't live in fear and a present where the world can be seen through ideas in books and not just the screen of a television, and begins to question everything he has ever known.
