More than seventy years after its original publication, Fahrenheit 451 remains an internationally acclaimed classic of dystopian literature and one of Ray Bradbury’s most enduring novels.
Guy Montag is a fireman, but in his world, firemen do not put out fires. Their job is to destroy books, along with the homes in which those forbidden books are hidden.
Montag has never questioned the destruction his work causes. He returns each day to a quiet, disconnected life with his wife, Mildred, whose attention is consumed by the television screens that dominate their home.
Then he meets Clarisse, an unusual young neighbour whose curiosity and perspective introduce him to a different way of seeing the world. Through her, Montag begins to consider a past when people did not live in fear and a present where books offer ideas that challenge the constant distractions surrounding them.
For the first time, Montag begins to question his work, his society and everything he has been taught to accept.
A landmark work of dystopian fiction, Fahrenheit 451 explores censorship, conformity, independent thought and the power of books and ideas.
Fahrenheit 451 is Book 1 in the Fahrenheit 451 series.
