Description
Fahrenheit 451 is a hauntingly prophetic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. In this post-literate world, books are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Guy Montag, a fireman, begins to question his role in suppressing knowledge and ideas. As Montag's unhappiness grows, he starts to hide books in his house, sparking a chain of events that will change his life forever. The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, is on the hunt for those who defy society by preserving and reading books. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel that still has the power to dazzle and shock over fifty years after its first publication.
