Description
|
|
|
|
First published in 1953, Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury's dystopian vision of a world where television and hedonism have replaced critical thought, and firemen start fires, burning the books that society now finds it more comfortable to ignore. Fireman Guy Montag, however, becomes increasingly disturbed by his work and by those he encounters who love their books enough to risk their lives to own them. He realizes that he wants to preserve what he's been destroying. This 50th-anniversary edition features a photographic reproduction of the original dust jacket.
