Description

This classic novel is set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Guy Montag is a fireman and his job is to burn books, which are forbidden. Even so, Montag is unhappy as there is discord in his marriage. The Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, is ready to track down those who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.
